furlough

Read a random definition: international conventions

A quick definition of furlough:

Furlough: A break from work or duty, usually given to military personnel or employees. It can also mean a short release from prison. A release is when someone gives up a right or claim they had against someone else. This can be done in writing, like signing a paper that says you won't sue someone. Furlough can also mean a program that lets prisoners go to school for a few hours at a time. Unconditional release is when a prisoner is finally let go from custody.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A leave of absence from military or other employment duty. It can also refer to a brief release from prison.

Example: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies had to furlough their employees due to financial difficulties.

Explanation: The example illustrates how furlough is used in the context of employment. When a company furloughs its employees, it means that they are temporarily laid off and not required to work, but they still retain their jobs and benefits. This is usually done when a company is facing financial difficulties and needs to cut costs.

Example: The prisoner was granted a furlough to attend his mother's funeral.

Explanation: This example illustrates how furlough can also refer to a brief release from prison. In this case, the prisoner was allowed to leave the prison temporarily to attend his mother's funeral. This is usually done for compassionate reasons or to allow prisoners to attend important events.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
