A quick definition of fact-finding:

Fact-finding is the process of finding out the truth about something that people disagree on. It can be used to help solve problems between countries or to help people who are arguing. Fact-finding is done by someone who is not involved in the argument and who tries to be fair to everyone. They look at all the information and try to figure out what really happened. This helps everyone understand the situation better and can help them work together to find a solution.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Fact-finding is the process of gathering evidence to determine the truth about a disputed point of fact. It can also refer to the gathering of information for international relations, including the peaceful settlement of disputes and the supervision of international agreements. In alternative dispute resolution, fact-finding involves an impartial third party who studies the facts and positions of disputing parties to help them work through their dispute.

  • A legislative tour to gather information for making decisions.
  • Gathering evidence in a court case to determine the truth about a disputed fact.
  • An international organization conducting fact-finding to supervise an international agreement.
  • An impartial third party studying the facts and positions of disputing parties in alternative dispute resolution.

These examples illustrate how fact-finding is used in different contexts to gather information and determine the truth about a disputed point of fact. Whether it's in a court case, international relations, or alternative dispute resolution, fact-finding is an important process for resolving disputes and making informed decisions.

Whenever I had a why X law school, I wrote maybe half a page just saying I like the location, I like the programs offered, and I like how the alumni helps each other. Did not waste their time but let them know I didn't really think they were special.

I mean, none of these schools are special. All they are is another way for boomers to steal from the youth and fuck over society before the party ends on their pathetic ignorant lives of pure consumption.
