Simple English definitions for legal terms

core work product

Read a random definition: probatio plena

A quick definition of core work product:

A core work product is something that a lawyer or someone working for a lawyer creates to help with a legal case. It can be something written down or something that was said out loud. This work product is usually kept secret and cannot be shown to the other side in the case. There are two types of core work product: fact work product, which includes only facts and can sometimes be shown to the other side if they really need it, and opinion work product, which includes the lawyer's thoughts and ideas and is almost always kept secret.

A more thorough explanation:

Core work product refers to tangible or intangible material that was either prepared by or for a lawyer, or prepared for litigation. This includes any material that is planned or in progress, and is generally exempt from discovery or other compelled disclosure. The term is also used to describe the products of a party's investigation or communications concerning the subject matter of a lawsuit if made to assist in the prosecution or defense of a pending suit, or in reasonable anticipation of litigation.

  • A lawyer's notes on a case
  • A draft of a legal brief
  • Communications between a lawyer and their client regarding the case

These examples illustrate core work product because they are materials that were prepared by or for a lawyer, or prepared for litigation. They are also exempt from discovery or other compelled disclosure, unless the party seeking discovery can show a substantial need for the materials.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
https://www.lsd.law/search/cV9E6 this is artificially deflated because it's only below your stats
someone got into harvard and chicago with your stats
15:19
Why is that deflating it? isnt that a better indicator instead of choosing above median LSATs? Genuinely curious just wondering
when stats are close because of the variability you want a little above your stats and a little below to get more data, adcoms arent so finnicky that 2 points on the lsat is make or break unless it puts you above median, and even then 50% are below median so it's not as big of an impact as you might think. the reason the chanceme tool goes a little above and below your stats by default is to capture a more accurate picture
ie your softs/WE/essays might make you more or less competitive than any random applicant and the best way to account for that is to take a little above and a little below
15:21
got it, I was of the mindset that medians are pretty concrete so taking a +2 LSAT score range was just giving me irrelevant data. Thank you
15:21
Def my softs/essays are the strongest part of my application so hoping they shine through
they kind of are but you see with the data here is doesnt really change your chances going from 172 to 170
yeah youll be in a good place for this cycle
15:22
yeah I guess thats true, I've also been looking at "Included" not "Only" for URM so maybe that's a diff too
15:22
Appreciate it man!
yeah included is giving you data for nURM which isnt relevant for your cycle
and ofc, good luck :)
