A quick definition of special administrator:

A special administrator is a person chosen by a court to take care of someone's things when the regular person who does it can't or when people can't agree on who should do it. They usually only have limited power to pay bills and make important decisions. Sometimes, a special administrator is only in charge of one specific thing, like selling art.

A more thorough explanation:

A special administrator is a person appointed by a court to temporarily manage the assets and affairs of an estate. This is usually done until a more permanent administrator can be appointed.

For example, if the current administrator can no longer serve or if the parties disagree over a long-term administrator, a special administrator may be appointed. The special administrator will have limited authority regarding distributing assets and will mainly be appointed to pay bills, taxes, and make any time-sensitive decisions.

Another example of a special administrator is when an estate has a specific asset, like art, that needs to be sold or allocated differently than other parts of the estate. In this case, a special administrator may be appointed only for that specific part of the estate.

Overall, a special administrator is appointed to manage an estate temporarily until a more permanent solution can be found.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure

She said historically a quarter get interview invites and then two thirds of those people get in.
