A quick definition of cognizable:

Term: COGNIZABLE

Definition: Cognizable means something that can be known or recognized. It can also refer to a group of people who share a common characteristic or interest that cannot be represented by others. In legal terms, it means that a case can be tried in court and falls under the court's jurisdiction. For example, if someone is hurt in a car accident, they can file a cognizable claim in court to seek compensation for their injuries.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Cognizable means something that can be known, recognized, or identified. It can also refer to something that can be examined or tried in a court of law.

Examples:

  1. A plaintiff must allege a judicially cognizable injury to establish standing in court.
  2. American Indians are a cognizable group for jury-selection purposes because of their common characteristic or interest that cannot be represented by others.
  3. The tort claims are not cognizable under the consumer-protection statute, meaning they cannot be tried in court under that law.

The first example illustrates how cognizable can refer to something that can be recognized or known in a legal context. In this case, a plaintiff must show that they have suffered an injury that can be recognized by the court in order to have standing to bring a lawsuit.

The second example shows how cognizable can refer to a group that can be identified based on a common characteristic or interest. In this case, American Indians are a cognizable group for jury-selection purposes because they have unique experiences and perspectives that cannot be represented by others.

The third example illustrates how cognizable can refer to something that can be tried in court. In this case, the tort claims cannot be tried under the consumer-protection statute, meaning they must be tried under a different law or in a different court.

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
