A quick definition of evidencing mark:

Term: Evidencing Mark

Definition: An evidencing mark is a group of clues or evidence that, when put together, can reliably identify a single object or person. This term is often used in criminal cases to establish a perpetrator's identity, but it can also be used in civil cases to prove whether or not an event occurred. Essentially, an evidencing mark is a collection of evidence that helps to solve a mystery or prove a point.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A group of circumstances that, when taken as a whole, form a composite feature that can be reliably associated with a single object. This term is used more frequently in criminal cases than in civil. In criminal cases, it usually refers to evidence that establishes a perpetrator's identity, but in civil cases, it often refers to evidence that an event did or did not occur. It is also known as evidencing feature or evidential mark.

  • A fingerprint found at the scene of a crime is an evidencing mark that can be used to identify the perpetrator.
  • A surveillance video showing a person entering a building at the time of a burglary is an evidencing feature that can be used to establish their involvement in the crime.
  • In a civil case, a signed contract can be an evidencing mark that proves an agreement was made between two parties.

These examples illustrate how a group of circumstances or evidence can be used to reliably associate a single object or event. In criminal cases, evidencing marks are often used to identify a perpetrator, while in civil cases, they are used to prove or disprove the occurrence of an event.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you

i don't think it has a detrimental effect on your chances of admission
13:34
but also you don't need to tell them anything so lol
Can y'all help me understand something lol. What does it mean for an app to "go complete"? Is that when the school has reviewed it and made a decision?
13:35
Na, it's when they have all the required information
Gotcha. So what would be the difference between received and completed?
Does complete entail like the app + LORs?
13:35
correct
That makes sense. Thank you!
13:36
complete basically means they've acknowledged receipt and it's ready to go under review whenever they start the deliberative process

I still haven't had Chicago or Cornell go complete, but I think that's just how they be
13:41
when did you submit
CaringEquableGuppy
13:42
How do you know when an application is complete? Is it on LSAC or the school's portal?
13:43
it'll be on the school-specific portal
Quillinit
13:44
when they opened
Quillinit
13:45
they both say something along the lines of "received and waiting to be processed"
13:48
anyone have good resources for revising a personal statement for reuse after applying with it last cycle?
13:49
Any guesses when Cornell and Penn CRS fee waivers will go out?
13:51
@Quillinit: from my recollection, chicago and cornell collapse complete/UR1 into a single step, so they may simply not be ready to begin reviewing applications
13:52
i think it's fair to assume, barring a handful of schools like UVA, most schools won't begin reviewing applications in earnest until the beginning of next month at the earliest, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear that applications are just sitting in the queue
13:54
@oakenrays: I was just gonna write a new one personally but I think you want to make it recognizably different from your previous PS
13:56
@baddestbunny: definitely agree that some revision and additional information is warranted but, my why law is the same... I guess just tell the same story in a different way
14:03
ugh fineeee I'll write a new stupid essay
14:07
yeah I told my last essay about a formative experience and am trying to update it now to be about what I’ve learned since that experience
recently wrapped up interview
i re-wrote my PS this cycle when I reapplied
fire drill at work
so lit
