England procedure

Read a random definition: malus animus

A quick definition of England procedure:

The England procedure is a way for a person to bring their federal claims back to federal court after a federal court has referred the case back to state court under the Pullman abstention doctrine and the state court has adjudicated the state-court issues. This procedure was established in the case of England v. Louisiana State Bd. of Med. Examiners. Abstention is the act of withholding or keeping back something, and in the legal context, it refers to a federal court's relinquishment of jurisdiction when necessary to avoid needless conflict with a state's administration of its own affairs. There are different types of abstention, including Burford abstention, Colorado River abstention, equitable abstention, permissive abstention, Pullman abstention, and Thibodaux abstention. Younger abstention is a federal court's decision not to interfere with an ongoing state criminal proceeding or a state-court civil proceeding used to enforce the criminal law, unless the prosecution has been brought in bad faith or merely as harassment.

A more thorough explanation:

The England procedure is a legal process that allows a litigant to return to federal court after a federal court has referred a case back to state court under the Pullman abstention doctrine, and the state court has adjudicated the state-court issues. This procedure was established by the Supreme Court in the case of England v. Louisiana State Bd. of Med. Examiners in 1964.

For example, if a federal court abstains from deciding a case because it involves a complex regulatory scheme and sensitive areas of state concern, the litigant can return to federal court to have the federal claims adjudicated after the state court has resolved the state-law issues.

The England procedure is one of several types of abstention doctrines that federal courts may use to avoid needless conflict with a state's administration of its own affairs. Other types of abstention include Burford abstention, Colorado River abstention, equitable abstention, permissive abstention, Pullman abstention, Thibodaux abstention, and Younger abstention.

seat deposits are soon
I speculate a wave before April 15th
i assumed they would be out by april 1 but i was clearly very wrong who knows
But tf do I know
i feel like it has to be by april 15, but read on reddit that NYU said they will get all decisions out by april 30th

i think i might pass on hofstra but I'll visit first and negotiate my aid
13:09
I'm guessing some schools will wait until after their 4/15 seat deposit dates to see how much they have left to give before sending another wave
NYU admissions is seemingly having a stroke this cycle though so
that makes sense @darkeagle

I mean college is 4 years so technically both 12 and 13 years is correct but very observant of you.

NYU bought their clout with a windfall years ago, and it already ran out. That's why they have been on a slow decline despite their location. It's a good thing for them that they have so far to fall that they *could* turn it around.
