automatic suspension

Read a random definition: common knowledge

A quick definition of automatic suspension:

Automatic Suspension: When someone files for bankruptcy, an automatic suspension or stay is put in place. This means that all attempts to collect money from the person who filed for bankruptcy must stop until the court decides how to handle the debts. The purpose of the automatic suspension is to give the court time to figure out how to fairly distribute the person's assets to their creditors without any interference from them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Automatic suspension is a legal term that refers to the automatic stay under STAY. It is a postponement or halting of a proceeding, judgment, or the like. An order to suspend all or part of a judicial proceeding or a judgment resulting from that proceeding.

Example: In bankruptcy cases, an automatic stay is put in place upon the filing of the bankruptcy petition. This means that all actions against the debtor should be halted pending the determination of creditors' rights and the orderly administration of the debtor's assets free from creditor interference.

Explanation: The example illustrates how an automatic suspension works in bankruptcy cases. It is a legal mechanism that protects the debtor from any collection efforts by creditors while the bankruptcy case is ongoing. This allows for a fair and orderly process of determining the debtor's assets and liabilities, and how they will be distributed among the creditors.

Related Term: Stay-Away Order is another legal term that refers to an order forbidding the defendant to contact the victim in a domestic-violence case or prohibiting a youthful offender from frequenting the scene of the offense or from being in the company of certain persons in a juvenile-delinquency case.

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)
