A quick definition of mail-order divorce:

Mail-order divorce is a term used to describe a divorce that is obtained by parties who are not physically present or domiciled in the jurisdiction purporting to grant the divorce. This type of divorce is not recognized in the United States because of the absence of the usual bases for jurisdiction. It is important to note that divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court, and there are different types of divorce, including fault divorce, no-fault divorce, and uncontested divorce.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mail-order divorce is a term used to describe a divorce obtained by parties who are not physically present or domiciled in the jurisdiction purporting to grant the divorce. Such a divorce is not recognized in the United States because of the absence of the usual bases for jurisdiction.

Example: A couple from California decides to get a mail-order divorce from a company claiming to offer quick and easy divorces in Nevada. However, since they are not physically present or domiciled in Nevada, their divorce is not recognized in California or any other state in the United States.

Explanation: The example illustrates how mail-order divorce is not a valid way to obtain a divorce in the United States. The usual bases for jurisdiction, such as residency requirements, must be met for a divorce to be recognized. Mail-order divorce companies often make false claims and take advantage of people seeking a quick and easy divorce.

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.
