A quick definition of legation:

Legation: A legation is when a country sends a special person called a diplomat to another country to talk about important things. Sometimes, a group of diplomats will go together and stay in a special house called the official residence. This is different from an embassy, which is a bigger group of diplomats led by an ambassador.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Legation refers to the act of sending a diplomat to another country or a group of diplomats sent to a foreign country, headed by an envoy extraordinary or a minister plenipotentiary. It can also refer to the official residence of a diplomatic minister in a foreign country. It is a term used in international law.

When the United States sends an ambassador to France, it is an example of a legation.
The British legation in Washington D.C. is the official residence of the British ambassador to the United States.

These examples illustrate how legation is used to refer to diplomatic missions and the official residences of diplomats in foreign countries.

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

Wow... Luigi Mangione just pled Not Guilty. He has to be banking on a jury nullification play, right? Honestly voir dire will be the most impactful part of the trial by far, I can't imagine the defense can present any credible exculpatory evidence.

they're charging him with terrorism, was he ever going to get a plea deal that was even remotely worth taking?

i think they want to roll the dice

Unrepentant-Caucasian

I can understand that, but that's exactly why I would offer him a halfway decent plea deal as the DA. Maybe offer 25 years at medium security, as opposed to being guaranteed to die at ADX Florence.
