A quick definition of commission to examine a witness:

A commission to examine a witness is a legal order that allows a witness who is not within the court's jurisdiction to be questioned. This order usually includes details such as the witness's name, the time and place of the deposition, and any other relevant information that will help the commissioner to carry out the order. It is also known as a commission to take a deposition or commission to take testimony. This order is different from a letter of request.

A more thorough explanation:

A commission to examine a witness is a legal order that directs a witness who is outside the court's jurisdiction to give a deposition. This order is usually issued when a witness cannot appear in court due to distance or other reasons.

The commission specifies the details of the deposition, such as the witness's name, the time and place of the deposition, and any other relevant information that will help the commissioner to conduct the deposition. This order is also known as a commission to take a deposition or commission to take testimony.

Suppose a witness lives in another state and cannot travel to the court to give testimony. In that case, the court may issue a commission to examine a witness, directing a commissioner in the witness's state to take the deposition. The commissioner will then conduct the deposition and send the transcript to the court.

Another example is when a witness lives in a foreign country. In that case, the court may issue a commission to examine a witness, directing a commissioner in that country to take the deposition. The commissioner will then conduct the deposition and send the transcript to the court.

These examples illustrate how a commission to examine a witness is used to obtain testimony from a witness who cannot appear in court due to distance or other reasons.

I was looking into adding a URM boost, bit ig the LUI, Law Underrepresented Index, is a secret lmao
urm boost is so variable
texaslawhopefully
12:09
So what exactly does the index number mean
depends on which type of urm you are plus how the schools feel about urm that given cycle
12:10
lol so are the constant index values -169.98 to 267.167 variance
12:10

if i was Tex I wouldn’t worry about index numbers. they’re just LSAT and GPA reformulated into an index. you’re above them. end of story
texaslawhopefully
12:17
Yeah, that’s fair. And clearly being above them is meaningless

I just want Chicago to accept me at this point. I feel like it’s such a good fit, my whole narrative is free expression and whatnot
12:20
the index seems applicable for splitters or low score ppl.
12:20
to assess their value to each school
12:20
Index numbers seem useful mostly to help you see how soon your app might be reviewed after submitting, since admissions officers are incentivized to make decisions on high performers early. But I’m not actually sure how useful that is in reality lol. It could also give some hints on how much a school weighs gpa vs lsat
12:20
yeah tldr mathy astrology for admissions lmfao
12:21
but but but correlation within the data set always is causation. -155 scorer be like
12:22
I definitely made a copy of that sheet out of curiosity. I love how it’s formatted

12:24
I’d count both of those as UR
12:24
