A quick definition of Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act:

The Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act is a law that allows a state to take custody of a prisoner who is already in jail in another state for trial. If the prisoner requests to be tried in the second state, the state must do so within 180 days.

A more thorough explanation:

The Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act is a law that was first passed in 1956. It allows a state to take custody of a prisoner who is already in another state's prison for trial. This agreement involves the federal government, certain states, and the District of Columbia.

For example, if a person is serving time in a prison in California but is wanted for a crime in Texas, Texas can request custody of the prisoner for trial. The prisoner can make a written request for disposition of the charges in Texas, and Texas must try the prisoner within 180 days of the request.

The purpose of this act is to make it easier for states to prosecute criminals who commit crimes in multiple states. It also ensures that prisoners are not held indefinitely without trial.

@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
