A quick definition of assault and battery:

Assault and battery is when someone makes another person feel scared that they will be hurt, and then actually hurts them. Assault means making someone feel scared, and battery means physically hurting them. These words can be used in different ways depending on the situation, and can be used in both criminal and civil cases.

A more thorough explanation:

Assault and battery is a legal term that combines two separate charges: assault and battery. Assault is when someone causes another person to fear that they will be harmed. Battery is when someone physically harms another person.

For example, if someone threatens to punch another person, that is assault. If they actually punch the person, that is battery. Assault and battery can refer to both criminal charges and civil charges.

Assault and battery can also refer to a variety of different actions that cause harm. For example, if someone intentionally hits another person with their car, that could be considered assault and battery.

It's important to note that assault and battery are separate charges, but they are often charged together because they are related.

@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).

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
