A quick definition of separate caucus:

A separate caucus is a private meeting held by a mediator with one party involved in a dispute. The mediator talks to each party separately to understand their settlement offers and demands. The mediator then goes back and forth between the parties to communicate these offers and demands. This process helps to resolve the dispute in a way that is fair to everyone involved. It is important for the mediator to be impartial and act in the best interests of all parties.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A separate caucus is a confidential mediation session that a mediator holds with an individual party to elicit settlement offers and demands. The mediator typically shuttles between the two (or more) sides of a dispute to communicate offers and demands.

Example: During a legal dispute, a mediator may hold separate caucuses with each party involved to better understand their positions and help facilitate a settlement. The mediator will keep the information shared in the separate caucus confidential from the other party.

Explanation: A separate caucus is a way for a mediator to gather information and negotiate with each party individually. This allows for more open communication and can help the mediator find common ground between the parties. The confidentiality of the separate caucus also allows each party to share their true thoughts and feelings without fear of retaliation or judgment from the other party.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

soapy

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

ClassyPleasantHeron

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
