ORP

Read a random definition: claimant

A quick definition of ORP:

ORP stands for Ordinary, Reasonable, and Prudent. This is the standard that is used in cases where someone is accused of being negligent. It means that a person should act in a way that an ordinary, reasonable, and prudent person would act in the same situation.

On a different note, an orphan is a child who has lost one or both parents. If a child has lost both parents, they are called a full orphan. If a child has lost one parent, they are called a half orphan. A child who has no parents or legal guardian is also considered an orphan.

Lastly, an orphan drug is a medication that is used to treat a rare disease or condition. These drugs are called orphan drugs because they are developed to treat a small number of people, and therefore, are not financially profitable for pharmaceutical companies to produce.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: ORP stands for Ordinary, reasonable, and prudent. It is the standard on which negligence cases are based.

  • If a driver fails to follow ORP while driving, they may be considered negligent if they cause an accident.
  • When a doctor is treating a patient, they are expected to follow ORP in their decisions and actions.

These examples illustrate how ORP is used as a standard to determine negligence in different situations. It is important for individuals in various professions to follow ORP to ensure they are not acting negligently and potentially causing harm to others.

@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

@s95 University of San Diego
