A quick definition of cruelty:

Term: Cruelty

Definition: Cruelty means hurting living things on purpose. This can be hurting their body or their feelings. It is wrong to be cruel to animals or children. Being cruel to animals means doing something that causes them pain or death. Being cruel to children means hurting them or not taking care of them when you should. Cruelty is not okay and can be against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Cruelty is the act of causing unnecessary physical or mental pain to living beings. This can include humans, animals, and children.

  • In a legal context, cruelty can be used as a ground for fault-based divorce. This means that if one spouse is willfully and persistently inflicting unnecessary suffering on the other, to the point where cohabitation is dangerous and unendurable, it may be grounds for divorce.
  • Cruelty to animals refers to any malicious or criminally negligent act that causes an animal pain, suffering, or death. This can include neglect, physical abuse, or intentional harm.
  • Cruelty to children, also known as child abuse, is the willful infliction of pain and suffering on children through physical, sexual, or emotional mistreatment or neglect.

These examples illustrate how cruelty can take many forms and can be inflicted on different types of living beings. It is important to recognize and prevent cruelty in all its forms to ensure the safety and well-being of all living creatures.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
