I used to use Stefan's Law , once upon a time when I studied such things. Ah, memories.

"Quinn's Law" is a corollary to Godwin's Law, which states that as a slashdot discussion grows longer, the probability of a Microsoft bashing approaches one.

"Jennifer's Law" allows for parents of a deceased high school student to request a posthumous diploma from the school district in Texas to which the student's high school belongs, subject to the following conditions:
- The student must be enrolled in their Senior year of high school.
- The law applies to students beginning the school year of 2005-2006.
- The student must have academically been "on track" to receive a diploma by the end of the year. The definition of "the end of the year" would include a summer session.
- The student must not have been convicted of a felony or adjudicated as having committed actions that would constitute a felony.
