dilatory motion

Read a random definition: alternate valuation date

A quick definition of dilatory motion:

Dilatory motion is a type of request made in court that delays or slows down the legal process. It can be used to postpone a court appearance or to prolong a case. Other types of motions include requests for specific rulings or orders, requests to modify previous orders, and requests for clarification or correction of court decisions. Some motions are made without notifying the other party, while others are contested and require both sides to be heard.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A written or oral application made in court that delays or obstructs the progress of a legal proceeding.

Example: A defendant in a criminal case may file a dilatory motion to postpone the trial date, causing a delay in the legal process.

This example illustrates how a dilatory motion can be used to slow down or obstruct the progress of a legal proceeding. It is important to note that while dilatory motions are a legitimate legal tactic, they can also be seen as an abuse of the legal system if used excessively or without good cause.

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

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)
