A quick definition of adjudication hearing:

An adjudication hearing is a type of court session where a judge decides on issues of fact or law. It can be open to the public and may involve witnesses testifying. In administrative law, it can also refer to a setting where a person presents arguments to an agency decision-maker. In child-abuse and neglect proceedings, it is the trial stage where the court hears the state's allegations and evidence and decides whether the state has the right to intervene on behalf of the child. In a juvenile-delinquency case, it is a hearing where the court hears evidence of the charges and makes a finding of whether the charges are true or not true.

A more thorough explanation:

An adjudication hearing is a legal proceeding where a judge or decision-maker listens to evidence and arguments from both sides to make a decision on a legal matter. It can be held in various types of cases, including criminal, administrative, and family law.

  • In a criminal case, an adjudication hearing may be held to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial.
  • In an administrative case, an adjudication hearing may be held to decide if a person's rights and duties have been violated by an agency.
  • In a family law case, an adjudication hearing may be held to determine if a child has been abused or neglected and if the state has the right to intervene on behalf of the child.

These examples illustrate how an adjudication hearing is a formal process where evidence is presented and a decision is made based on the facts and law.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
