A quick definition of court-appointed expert:

A court-appointed expert is someone who is chosen by a judge to give their opinion on a subject in a court case. They are supposed to be fair and not take sides. This person has a lot of knowledge or experience in a certain area and can help the judge or jury understand things better. There are also other types of experts, like consulting experts who are hired by one side, and testifying experts who will speak in court.

A more thorough explanation:

A court-appointed expert is a person who is appointed by the court to provide an unbiased opinion on a particular subject. This person has developed skill or knowledge in a specific area through education or experience and can assist the fact-finder in making a decision.

  • During a trial, a judge may appoint a medical expert to provide an opinion on the cause of a person's injuries.
  • In a custody case, a court-appointed expert may be asked to evaluate the mental health of each parent and make a recommendation to the court.

These examples illustrate how a court-appointed expert can provide valuable information to the court and help the fact-finder make an informed decision. The expert is expected to be impartial and provide an unbiased opinion based on their knowledge and expertise.

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

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
