A more thorough explanation:

DEVIL ON THE NECK

Devil on the neck is a historical torture device that was used to force confessions out of people. It was made of irons that were fastened to a person's neck and legs and then wrenched together to either gradually or quickly break the person's back.

During the medieval times, the devil on the neck was a common torture device used by the authorities to extract confessions from people accused of crimes. The accused person would be forced to wear the device, and the irons would be tightened until their back was broken.

Another example of the devil on the neck being used was during the Spanish Inquisition. The authorities used this device to torture people who were suspected of being heretics or witches.

The examples illustrate how the devil on the neck was used as a torture device to extract confessions from people. The device was designed to cause extreme pain and suffering, and the threat of using it was often enough to make people confess to crimes they did not commit. The use of this device was a cruel and inhumane practice that violated human rights.

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
