Read a random definition: creativity

A quick definition of avoidance:

Avoidance: Avoidance is when someone tries to escape or stay away from something. It can mean not doing something on purpose or trying to get out of something. For example, avoiding an argument means not getting into a fight with someone. Avoidance can also refer to canceling or undoing something, like an agreement or contract. Sometimes people use avoidance as a way to avoid getting in trouble or being held responsible for something.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Avoidance is the act of evading or escaping something, or refraining from doing something.

Examples:

  1. Avoidance of tax liability: This means not paying taxes or finding ways to reduce the amount of taxes owed.
  2. Avoidance of an argument: This means not engaging in a disagreement or conflict with someone.
  3. Rescission: This means the act of canceling or revoking a contract or agreement.
  4. Voidance: This means the act of making something null and void, as if it never existed.
  5. Annulment: This means the act of declaring something invalid or void, usually a marriage or legal contract.
  6. Confession and avoidance: This means admitting to a wrongdoing but providing a reason or excuse to avoid liability or punishment.

The examples illustrate how avoidance can be applied in different contexts, such as legal, social, and personal situations. Avoidance can be intentional or unintentional, and it can have positive or negative consequences depending on the circumstances.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
