Read a random definition: OTP

A quick definition of administrative law judge:

An administrative law judge is a person who works for the government and is in charge of hearings and appeals related to government agencies. They are experts in the subject matter of the agency they work for and are sometimes called "judges."

A more thorough explanation:

An administrative law judge is a professional who works for the government to preside over hearings and appeals involving governmental agencies. They are experienced in the particular subject matter of the agency involved or of several agencies. They were formerly called "hearing officers," but now prefer to be called "judge" due to the higher pay and prestige associated with the title.

  • An administrative law judge may preside over a hearing involving a dispute between a company and a government agency over environmental regulations.
  • Another administrative law judge may hear an appeal from an individual who was denied Social Security benefits.

These examples illustrate how administrative law judges are responsible for making decisions in legal disputes involving government agencies. They use their expertise in the subject matter to ensure that the hearing or appeal is conducted fairly and impartially.

A hold is not exactly a waitlist, but it means they’re waiting to give you a decision later

@llama: nice
21:32
@ClockworkBlue: what babycat said, the link reads as the school always initiates the 'hold' status, however [in my case] sometimes applicants ask to be placed on 'hold' pending a score (LSAT, final semester of UG, etc).
21:32
@babycat: just had to get that off my chest.
cornell kira is just about performing well under pressure and having substantive content in your questions
so just try to stay calm and pace your responses so you give good answers during the interview

Aye gang (esp. @shaquilleoatmeal) so I went with Zanzibar City over dolphins and I 100% do not regret it. One of the highlights of my whole Africa trip, lovely to see all its cultural blends and architecture. You should all visit this place in your lives, seriously
