procedural point

Read a random definition: absque aliquo inde reddendo

A quick definition of procedural point:

A procedural point is a request made in a meeting or deliberative body that relates to the rules or procedures being followed. It can include requests for clarification, information, or order, and may raise personal privileges that affect a member's ability to participate effectively. In some cases, a point may also refer to a service charge or unit used for quoting prices in financial markets.

A more thorough explanation:

A procedural point is a request made in a deliberative body, such as a meeting or a court, that raises a legal proposition, issue, or argument related to the procedure being followed. It can also refer to a service charge or placement fee paid up front to a lender for a loan.

  • Point of clarification: A question asked during a meeting to clarify a procedure or a matter being discussed.
  • Point of information: An inquiry made during a meeting to seek information about a motion's merits or effect.
  • Point of order: A request made during a meeting to suggest that the meeting or a member is not following the applicable rules and asking the chair to enforce the rules.
  • Point of privilege: A motion made during a meeting that raises a question of privilege related to a member's ability to participate effectively in the meeting.
  • Mortgage point: A service charge or placement fee paid up front to a lender for a mortgage loan, usually calculated as one percent of the loan's face value.

These examples illustrate how a procedural point can be used in different contexts, such as parliamentary law, court proceedings, or mortgage loans. In each case, a procedural point is a request made to address a specific issue related to the procedure being followed, whether it is a question of clarification, a point of order, or a mortgage point.

Gecko, I feel pretty good. Two of the RC passages had really tough inference questions -- hoping I narrowed down my answer choices correctly
10:38
Very happy with LR other than having to guess on a couple questions cuz of time
10:42
i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I wrote mine about how all activists should be consolidated into a large smelting pot and refined down to a viscous goo

Expecting a lot of rejections though

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P
11:11
The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS
12:03
@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

12:08
"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol
[] baddestbunny
12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think
[] baddestbunny
12:25
fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition
12:50
How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
