A quick definition of ethical consideration:

Term: Ethical Consideration

Definition: Ethical consideration is a principle that guides a lawyer's behavior and actions in a professional setting. It is an ideal that lawyers should strive to uphold, but breaking it does not always result in punishment. The Model Code of Professional Responsibility outlines these considerations, which are meant to ensure that lawyers act in a fair and just manner towards their clients and the legal system as a whole.

Abbreviation: EC

Related Term: Disciplinary Rule

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ethical consideration is a principle that guides a lawyer's professional conduct. It is an aspirational goal that lawyers should strive to achieve. The Model Code of Professional Responsibility contains these considerations, and violating them may not necessarily lead to disciplinary action. Ethical considerations are abbreviated as EC.

  • A lawyer should maintain client confidentiality and not disclose any information without the client's consent.
  • A lawyer should avoid conflicts of interest and not represent clients with opposing interests.
  • A lawyer should provide competent representation to clients and not take on cases beyond their expertise.

These examples illustrate how ethical considerations guide a lawyer's behavior. By following these principles, lawyers can maintain their clients' trust and uphold the integrity of the legal profession.

I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw
soapy
9:46
But do people get in without addresses going long?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie
9:46
it's tough to tell because a lot of people type out their addresses long to begin with
soapy
9:46
Ah. I didn't. Looking back, my Mich supplement kind of sucks, so there's that

Mich overrated (Dean Z please let me in even tho i didnt apply and I am below both 25ths)

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.
soapy
10:06
Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

What a good day to get into law school

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.
soapy
10:12
Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!
ClassyPleasantHeron

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.
soapy

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.

i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review

my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao
soapy
10:25
I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?
soapy
10:25
Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
soapy
10:26
Or another essay?
