A quick definition of notice of motion:

Notice of Motion: A written notice that tells everyone involved in a lawsuit that someone has filed a motion or that a motion will be heard by the court at a specific time. A motion is a request made by one party to the lawsuit asking the court to make a decision on a particular issue. The notice of motion must be in writing and include a certificate of service, which shows that all parties involved in the lawsuit have been notified of the motion's filing. The party requesting the hearing or submission must provide notice to all parties involved in the lawsuit.

A more thorough explanation:

A notice of motion is a written document that informs all parties involved in a lawsuit that a motion has been filed or will be heard by the court at a specific time. It is a formal way of notifying everyone involved in the case about the upcoming motion.

For example, if a party wants to request a change in the trial date, they would file a notice of motion with the court. This document would inform all parties involved in the case that a motion has been filed and that a hearing will be held to consider the request.

Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a motion must be made in writing, and this requirement is fulfilled if the motion is stated in a written notice of the hearing on the motion. Additionally, all motions must include a certificate of service, indicating that the other parties to the suit have been given notice of the motion's filing.

Overall, a notice of motion is an essential part of the legal process, as it ensures that all parties involved in a lawsuit are aware of any upcoming motions and have the opportunity to respond or object to them.

yeah my university’s the same way, so frustrating! still a great GPA and with a killer LSAT score you’ll be good to go :)

if you have the means, I’ve heard private tutoring is the way to go

Fingers crossed! I mean I'd be so so glad to go to law school period, but I am a bit of an overachiever. Dream is Berkeley rn, but I'm of course happy to go anywhere that lines up with my plans. And is kind enough with scholarships lol

@madollyy: yeah that happend to me too with my community college transcript. You can try calling to see if they can alter your transcript but like mine would not do it.

Ask @babycat to tutor you @madollyy
cat food is expensive tho
21:09
I HOPW THAT ISNT REAL
@JumpySubsequentDolphin: I would push back on this. I think for the vast majority of people LSAT tutoring is unnecessary.
21:09
oh its from nov 12 phew
21:09
i was about to have a heart attack
21:09
at the berk decision lmao
@madollyy: I focus on bringing your GPA up as much as possible in the last semester because once you graduate you cannot change that. So don't study for the LSAT next semester if you think that would impair your ability to get straight A's. As for LSAT studying, I would recommend LSAT Demon (ik controversial), the Loophole, and Reading Comp Hero.
*I would focus

@texaslawhopefully: oh I’m not sure hahaha im just basing off of my friend who got a tutor bc she was rly struggling and it seemed like it helped her!
Yeah, that's fair! For some people it can help a lot. I'm just saying in general I don't think it is necessary unless you are trying to finetune a very specific area (or get to the high 170s because that is another thing in and of itself) OR are just terrible at the test. I tutor the test and I find that most people can improve just as much through self-study.

that makes sense for sure
JumpySubsequentDolphin

i think for her it was a lack of discipline more than anything else tbh. she could not get herself to meaningfully study on her own

22:05
I've finished all my major requirements, so I'm taking pretty much all electives next semester. Keeping one major specific class bc I'm majoring in it for a reason haha. But I'll be pretty free to study and try and improve my GPA. I will try self study first, see where that gets me. If that doesn't work I'll look into tutoring!
the way there probs won't be another wave until after thanksgiving LMFAO
i hate this

most of the stuff a tutor will teach you is stuff you can figure out yourself if you’re sufficiently motivated. if you would benefit from some support and structure tutoring can be helpful
