protection order

Read a random definition: M.D.

A quick definition of protection order:

A protection order is a court order that prohibits someone from hurting or threatening another person. This type of order is usually given in cases of domestic violence. It can also prevent someone from contacting or approaching the person they are not allowed to hurt or threaten. The court may give a protection order right away if there is an immediate danger. It is important to follow the protection order to keep everyone safe.

A more thorough explanation:

A protection order, also known as a restraining order, is a court order that prohibits family violence. It restricts a person from harassing, threatening, or contacting another specified person. This type of order is commonly issued in cases of domestic violence.

  • A woman who has been physically abused by her partner can obtain a protection order to prevent him from coming near her or contacting her.
  • A man who has been stalked by his ex-girlfriend can obtain a restraining order to prevent her from following him or contacting him.

These examples illustrate how a protection order can be used to protect individuals from further harm by restricting the actions of the abuser or stalker.

A temporary restraining order is a court order entered to prevent the dissipation or loss of property. It is different from a protection order, which is used to prevent family violence.

from what ive understood villanova's 3rd market is nyc but the philly ip market is a little small, most of the ppl i talked to had WE in tech first and thats how they got related roles in 1L/2L

they're just so similar on the balancing scale that im second guessing in case im overtly wrong on one of them...but then again all my friends say to quit whining and pick cardozo lol

To me it seems that if you don't have all your responses yet (which all schools know it has been a crazy cycle), then you shouldn't be penalized if you put down a deposit, get a response from another school, and choose to go that direction. If the school is stinky about it, it seems you would have some recourse through LSAC

swag yeah thats cool i think ill most likely just deposit at dozo to save myself the constant back-and-forth on the decision -- i dont think ive had a conversation yet where i end up choosing nova despite my best to advocate for it lol
[] c0bra1
17:55
like i said earlier i think if the col was an issue for me id probably pick nova but my heart has always been set on ny and i think id be fine over there
