confidential relation

Read a random definition: breviate

A quick definition of confidential relation:

A confidential relation is a special kind of relationship where one person trusts and relies on another person. This can happen between a lawyer and their client, or between a parent and child. Sometimes, when someone makes a will and there are suspicious circumstances, people might accuse someone who had a confidential relation with the person who made the will of using their trust to influence the will. This is called undue influence.

A more thorough explanation:

A confidential relation is a relationship of trust and reliance between two parties. It can be an actual fiduciary relationship, such as between a lawyer and client, or an informal relationship, such as between a parent and child. The term is often used in cases of undue influence, particularly in wills where suspicious circumstances exist.

  • A lawyer and client have a confidential relationship because the client trusts the lawyer to keep their information confidential and act in their best interest.
  • A parent and child may have a confidential relationship because the child relies on the parent for guidance and support.
  • In a case of undue influence, a beneficiary to a will who had a confidential relationship with the testator may be accused of exerting undue influence in procuring the will.

These examples illustrate how a confidential relationship can arise in different contexts and how it can be used to allege undue influence. In each case, one party trusts and relies on the other, creating a relationship of confidence and vulnerability that can be exploited.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
