Read a random definition: falsa causa

A quick definition of pending motion:

A pending motion is a request made to a court for a specific ruling or order. It can be written or spoken, and there are different types of motions depending on the situation. Some motions are routine and can be granted easily, while others may be contested or require more investigation. A motion can be made by one party or in response to another party's request. A pending motion means that the court has not yet made a decision on the request and is still considering it.

A more thorough explanation:

A pending motion is a request made to a court, either in writing or orally, asking for a specific ruling or order. It is a motion that has been filed but has not yet been decided upon by the court.

  • Calendar Motion: A motion related to the time of a court appearance, such as a motion to continue, advance, or reset.
  • Motion to Modify: A post-final-decree motion asking the court to change one of its earlier orders, such as a request to change child support or visitation.
  • Omnibus Motion: A motion that makes several requests or asks for multiple forms of relief.

These examples illustrate how a pending motion can be used in different legal situations, such as family law or civil procedure. They show that a pending motion is a request that has been made to the court but has not yet been decided upon.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
