Session

Read a random definition: feria

A quick definition of Session:

A session is a meeting where important people like judges or lawmakers come together to do their jobs. When a court is in session, it means they are listening to a case. When lawmakers are in session, it means they are talking about and deciding on new laws.

A more thorough explanation:

A session is a scheduled meeting of a government body, such as a court or legislature. During a court session, the court is actively hearing a case. For example, if a court is in session and does not respond to a request within 10 days, the request is considered denied. During a legislative session, lawmakers are actively discussing and voting on proposed laws. For example, the U.S. Constitution states that neither House of Congress can adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other during a session.

  • A court session is when a judge is hearing a case and making decisions based on the evidence presented.
  • A legislative session is when lawmakers are discussing and voting on proposed laws.

These examples illustrate how a session is a scheduled meeting of a government body where important decisions are made.

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
