consequential contempt

Read a random definition: quia-timet injunction

A quick definition of consequential contempt:

Consequential contempt is when someone disobeys or shows disrespect to a court or legislature. This behavior can interfere with justice and is punishable by a fine or imprisonment. There are two types of contempt: civil and criminal. Civil contempt is when someone fails to follow a court order that benefits another party, and the punishment is usually confinement until they comply. Criminal contempt is when someone obstructs justice or attacks the integrity of the court, and the punishment is meant to be punitive. Indirect contempt is when someone disobeys a court order outside of court, and they can only be punished after a hearing.

A more thorough explanation:

Consequential contempt is a type of contempt of court, which refers to conduct that defies the authority or dignity of a court or legislature. This conduct interferes with the administration of justice and is punishable by fine or imprisonment.

Consequential contempt can be indirect contempt, which is committed outside of court, such as when a party disobeys a court order. It is punishable only after proper notice to the contemnor and a hearing.

For example, if a witness in a court case refuses to answer a question from a judge or a lawyer, they could be held in consequential contempt. This conduct defies the authority of the court and interferes with the administration of justice.

Another example of consequential contempt is when a party disobeys a court order to produce evidence or to pay a fine. This conduct shows a disregard for the authority of the court and can be punished by fine or imprisonment.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

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.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

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?
soapy

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

Or another essay?

i'll allow it
