appearance pro hac vice

Read a random definition: dependent relevant revocation (DRR)

A quick definition of appearance pro hac vice:

Appearance is when someone goes to court as a party or lawyer for a party. It can be a defendant taking part in a lawsuit or a lawyer representing someone in court. There are different types of appearances, such as a general appearance that waives the ability to dispute the court's authority, or a special appearance that contests the court's jurisdiction over the defendant. A limited appearance is when a defendant shows up in court solely to contest the court's assertion of personal jurisdiction. A voluntary appearance is when someone goes to court on their own will, without being served with legal papers.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Appearance pro hac vice refers to a lawyer from another state appearing in court for a specific case with the permission of the court.

Example: A lawyer from New York wants to represent a client in a case in California. The lawyer must file a motion for pro hac vice admission and receive permission from the California court to appear in the case.

This example illustrates the definition of appearance pro hac vice, which is when a lawyer from another state is allowed to appear in court for a specific case. This is different from a lawyer who is licensed to practice law in the state where the case is being heard.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.

Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
Dkkm11
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
[] baddestbunny
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person

Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
Dkkm11

It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.

I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
Dkkm11
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
[] baddestbunny
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
[] baddestbunny
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
Dkkm11
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
Dkkm11
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
[] baddestbunny
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
[] baddestbunny
18:56
oh okay
[] baddestbunny
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
Dkkm11
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
[] baddestbunny
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
[] baddestbunny
18:57
or just drills
Dkkm11
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
Dkkm11
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs
1a2b3c4d26z

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
