I see we have an anonymous vote for 38; just a reminder, if you can let us know what you vote, it does help to allow us to track a winner. Not obligatory of course, but probably also a little more fun?!

Red Pencil vs. Blue Pencil
Understanding the red pencil rule usually involves contrasting it with other common judicial responses to defective contracts : [1, 2]
Red Pencil Doctrine: The court voids the entire clause. The judge cannot modify or fix the wording to make it legal. [1, 2, 3]
Blue Pencil Doctrine: The court crosses out ("strikes") only the offending words, leaving the rest of the contract intact and enforceable.
