Simple English definitions for legal terms

engross

Read a random definition: jury tampering

A quick definition of engross:

Engross: To write a legal document, like a deed, in big letters or prepare a copy of it for signing. It can also mean to make a copy of a bill before it becomes a law. In the past, it was used to describe buying a lot of something to control the price. It can also mean to fully occupy or absorb someone's attention.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To prepare a legal document, such as a deed or bill, for execution or final legislative vote. It can also mean to buy large quantities of a stock or commodity in an effort to control the price. Additionally, it can mean to fully occupy or absorb.

Examples:

  • Lawyers engrossed the deed to the property before it was signed.
  • The bill was engrossed before the final vote in the legislature.
  • The company tried to engross the market by buying up all the available stock.
  • She was so engrossed in her book that she didn't hear the phone ring.

The first two examples illustrate the definition of preparing a legal document for execution or final vote. The third example shows the definition of buying large quantities of a stock or commodity. The fourth example demonstrates the definition of being fully occupied or absorbed in something.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure

is Cornell a school where only people who interview get in?
I think so
She said historically a quarter get interview invites and then two thirds of those people get in.
