A quick definition of pari materia, in:

Term: PARI MATERIA, IN

Definition: When laws are in pari materia, it means they are about the same thing. This is important because it allows judges to look at different laws on the same subject to help them understand what a law means. For example, if there are two laws about driving, a judge can look at both of them to figure out what they mean. In patiendo means "in suffering or permitting."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Pari materia, in means "in the same matter". It refers to laws or statutes that are related to the same subject.

For example, if there are two laws that deal with the same topic, they are considered to be in pari materia. This means that they can be interpreted together to resolve any inconsistencies or conflicts between them.

One example of this is when a judge is trying to interpret a new law that has been passed, but there is already an older law that deals with the same subject. The judge can look at the older law to help them understand the meaning of the new law.

Another example is when a state constitution has a provision that is similar to a provision in the US Constitution. The state provision can be interpreted in pari materia with the federal provision to help understand its meaning.

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
