A more thorough explanation:

Term: Elongatus
Definition: Elongatus is a Latin term that refers to a situation where a person who is supposed to be replevied has been taken out of the jurisdiction of the sheriff. It is a return made by a sheriff to a writ de homine replegiando.
Example: If a person is arrested in one county and taken to another county before the sheriff can replevy them, the sheriff will make a return of elongatus to the writ de homine replegiando. This means that the person has been taken out of the sheriff's jurisdiction and cannot be replevied.
Explanation: The example illustrates how elongatus is used in a legal context. It shows that if a person is taken out of the jurisdiction of the sheriff, they cannot be replevied. This is important because it means that the person cannot be returned to their original location or released from custody.

I did in person. My test was scheduled for 9. The proctors didn't show up until 10, then they had to start administering tests for everyone that was scheduled to test at 8 (not just LSATs). I didn't start testing until almost 11:30. Talk about time to let your anxiety build up! 😵‍💫
