Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act

Read a random definition: libellus

A quick definition of Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act:

The Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act is a law that helps protect the rights of people who are serving in the military. It does this by changing some of the rules about how much money they owe and how much interest they have to pay on their debts. It also sets up special procedures for people who want to make claims against them. This law was first made in 1940 and is still in effect today.

A more thorough explanation:

The Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act is a federal law that was first passed in 1940. Its purpose is to protect the civil rights of people who are serving in the military. This law does this by:

  • Modifying their civil liability
  • Placing limits on interest rates charged against their obligations
  • Prescribing specific procedures for claims made against them

For example, if a soldier is deployed overseas and is unable to pay their rent, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act may protect them from being evicted. This law also limits the amount of interest that can be charged on loans taken out by military personnel.

The purpose of this law is to ensure that people who are serving in the military are not unfairly penalized for their service. It recognizes that military service can make it difficult for people to fulfill their obligations and protects them from legal action while they are serving their country.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
