A quick definition of consulting expert:

A consulting expert is someone who has a lot of knowledge or experience in a certain subject and can help people understand it better. They are usually hired by one side in a legal case to give advice, but they are not expected to testify in court. This means that their opinions are usually kept private and not shared with the other side. There are also other types of experts, like impartial experts who are chosen by the court to give an unbiased opinion, and testifying experts who are expected to testify in court.

A more thorough explanation:

A consulting expert is a person who has developed skill or knowledge in a particular subject through education or experience. They are hired by a party in a legal case to provide an opinion that will assist the fact-finder. However, unlike a testifying expert, a consulting expert is not expected to be called as a witness at trial.

For example, in a medical malpractice case, a consulting expert may be hired by the plaintiff's attorney to review medical records and provide an opinion on whether the defendant doctor breached the standard of care. The consulting expert's opinions are generally exempt from the scope of discovery, meaning they do not have to disclose their opinions to the other party.

Another example is in a patent infringement case, where a consulting expert may be hired by the defendant to review the plaintiff's patent and provide an opinion on whether the defendant's product infringes on the patent. The consulting expert's opinions can help the defendant prepare their defense strategy.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
