extraordinary majority

Read a random definition: cash-value option

A quick definition of extraordinary majority:

An extraordinary majority, also known as a supermajority, is a fixed proportion greater than half, such as two-thirds, that is required for certain extraordinary actions, such as ratifying a constitutional amendment or approving a fundamental corporate change. It is a larger majority than a simple majority, which only requires more than half of the members who vote, and is needed for important decisions that require a higher level of agreement among the group.

A more thorough explanation:

An extraordinary majority, also known as a supermajority, is a fixed proportion greater than half, such as two-thirds, that is required for certain extraordinary actions to pass. This means that more than the usual majority is needed to make a decision.

For example, if a constitutional amendment requires a two-thirds majority to pass, then at least 67% of the members must vote in favor of it. Another example is when a company wants to make a fundamental change, such as merging with another company, they may require a supermajority vote from their shareholders.

These examples illustrate how an extraordinary majority is used to ensure that important decisions are made with a higher level of agreement and support from the members involved.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
