A quick definition of ordinary skill:

Ordinary skill refers to the level of expertise or ability that is considered typical or average within a particular field or industry. It is the basic level of knowledge and proficiency that is expected of someone working in that area. For example, if you are a carpenter, ordinary skill would mean having the basic knowledge and ability to use tools and materials to build things like tables, chairs, and cabinets. It is not exceptional or extraordinary skill, but rather the level of competence that is expected of someone in that profession.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ordinary skill refers to the level of expertise or knowledge that a person skilled in a particular field or art possesses. It is the level of skill that an average person in that field or art would have.

For example, if we are talking about a carpenter, ordinary skill would refer to the level of expertise that an average carpenter would have. This would include knowledge of basic carpentry techniques, tools, and materials.

Another example would be in the field of music. Ordinary skill for a musician would refer to the level of proficiency that an average musician would have in playing their instrument or singing. This would include knowledge of basic music theory, technique, and performance skills.

These examples illustrate how ordinary skill is the level of expertise that is considered normal or average for a particular field or art. It is important to understand this concept when evaluating the work of someone in a particular field or art, as it helps to determine whether their work is of a high quality or not.

@s95: My cousin is an immigration attorney who recently argued in front of the supreme court. He attended the University of Houston for law school. There are so many good schools for immigration law, countless clinics.

@s95: The higher the rank though basically means more opportunities possibly with a debt trade off. It's hard for me to say more without knowing your goals though. Awesome you already have an idea what you want to do as a lawyer!
[] ararara
17:06
I would research immigration law clinics
@s95: generally school specialties are kind of silly. it’s usually the rank of the school that determines the opportunities you can get from it across the board
with caveats for strong regional schools with a regional focus and so on
