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.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
