in fieri

in fieri
In the making; unfinished; incomplete. At common law, mispellings and other clerical errors could be amended while all the proceedings were "in paper," and therefore subject to the control of the courts, but when the record was made up, no amendment could be made unless within the term of court in which the record was made. Later, however, the law relaxed and permitted such an amendment to be made at any time before judgment was given, because until then, the proceedings were considered as being "in fieri." See 3 Bl Comm 406.
