neutralization

Read a random definition: levee

A quick definition of neutralization:

Neutralization: Neutralization is the act of making something ineffective. It can also refer to a process in international law where a country is guaranteed permanent neutrality, except in its own defense. Switzerland is an example of a neutralized country. Neutralization can also refer to the act of declaring certain persons or property neutral and safe from capture. In evidence, neutralization is the cancellation of unexpected harmful testimony from a witness by showing that the witness has made conflicting statements.

A more thorough explanation:

Neutralization is a term that can have different meanings depending on the context. Here are some of its definitions:

  1. The act of making something ineffective.
  2. In international law, the process by which a country's integrity is guaranteed by treaty, on the condition that it remains permanently neutral except in self-defense. Switzerland is an example of a neutralized country.
  3. The act of declaring certain persons or property neutral and safe from capture. For example, during a war, a neutral country may declare that a hospital or a ship carrying humanitarian aid is neutral and should not be attacked.
  4. In legal proceedings, the cancellation of unexpected harmful testimony from a witness by showing that the witness has made conflicting statements. For instance, a prosecutor may try to neutralize the testimony of a witness who offers damaging evidence by cross-examining them and pointing out inconsistencies in their statements.

For example, if a company wants to neutralize the effect of a competitor's advertising campaign, it may launch a counter-campaign that highlights the flaws of the competitor's product. In international relations, neutralization can be a way to avoid being dragged into a conflict between two or more powerful nations. In legal proceedings, neutralization can be a way to discredit a witness and undermine their credibility.

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
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
