Lone Pine order

Read a random definition: motion of course

A quick definition of Lone Pine order:

Lone Pine Order: A legal order used in lawsuits involving many people who claim they were harmed by a hazardous substance. The order sets rules and deadlines for gathering evidence, including proof that each person was exposed to the substance, what harm they suffered, and how the substance caused the harm. If the plaintiffs don't follow the rules and deadlines, their claims may be dismissed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A legal order used in toxic-tort lawsuits with multiple plaintiffs. It establishes deadlines and procedures for discovery, requiring plaintiffs to provide evidence and expert opinions to support their claims of exposure to hazardous substances, the injuries they suffered, and the cause of their injuries. Failure to comply with the order can result in the dismissal of the plaintiffs' claims.

Example: In the case of Lore v. Lone Pine Corp., the court issued a Lone Pine order to manage the large number of plaintiffs claiming injuries from exposure to toxic substances. The order required each plaintiff to provide specific evidence and expert opinions to support their claims. When some plaintiffs failed to comply with the order, their claims were dismissed.

Explanation: The Lone Pine order is used to streamline the discovery process in complex toxic-tort lawsuits. It helps ensure that plaintiffs have sufficient evidence to support their claims and prevents frivolous lawsuits. The Lore v. Lone Pine Corp. case is a famous example of the use of this order, as it resulted in the dismissal of some plaintiffs' claims for failure to comply with the order.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
