A quick definition of pars rea:

Term: PARS REA

Definition: A pars rea is a party defendant.

A pars rea is someone who is being sued or accused of something in a legal case. They are the person or entity that the plaintiff (the person bringing the case) is trying to hold responsible for some wrongdoing. For example, if someone is suing a company for selling a faulty product, the company would be the pars rea in that case.

A more thorough explanation:

Pars Rea

Pars Rea refers to a party defendant in a legal case.

When a legal case is filed, there are usually two parties involved - the plaintiff who files the case and the defendant who is being sued. In some cases, there may be multiple defendants. Pars Rea is a Latin term that refers to one of the defendants in a case.

For example, if a person is injured in a car accident and files a lawsuit against the driver of the other car, the driver would be the defendant. If there were passengers in the car, they could also be named as defendants and referred to as pars rea.

In another example, if a company is sued for selling a defective product, the company would be the defendant and any employees involved in the production or sale of the product could also be named as pars rea.

These examples illustrate how pars rea is used to refer to a specific defendant in a legal case.

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
