special venire

Read a random definition: Census Bureau

A quick definition of special venire:

Special Venire: A group of people who are selected for jury duty and from whom the jurors are chosen. It is called a special venire when there is an unexpected need for a larger pool of jurors or for a particular case, usually a capital case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A panel of citizens summoned when there is an unexpected need for a larger pool from which to select jurors, or a panel summoned for a particular (usually capital) case.

Examples:

  • If a high-profile case requires a larger pool of potential jurors, a special venire may be summoned to ensure a fair trial.
  • In a capital case, a special venire may be summoned to ensure that the jury pool is not biased against the defendant.

These examples illustrate how a special venire is used in the legal system to ensure a fair trial. It is a panel of citizens who are summoned to serve as potential jurors in cases where a larger pool is needed or in cases that require a specific type of juror, such as in a capital case. The special venire helps to ensure that the jury pool is diverse and unbiased, which is essential for a fair trial.

Echoing what others have said-- if you're confident your essays and LORs were strong, you probably did just apply too late. All those WLs mean you meet their requirements for admission, and they just chose others over you (maybe because of timing, maybe because of now WE)

Yeah I applied in February, and while I was lucky enough to get into three schools (one of my targets) - I attribute it to a solid LSAT score in January, the application cycle would have looked a lot different if I had gotten my shit together and applied earlier

My family won't accept me not being in college, even if it's to get relevant work experience, they think the moment I start working I'll give up wanting to go to law school, which is why I'm choosing masters

I also applied too late and I feel like an idiot for not having insider knowledge that 1-2 months early = late
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
16:16
So prove them wrong

My plan if I fail this cycle, which is likely, is to do my masters and then try to get something better than my on campus part-time job, hopefully using the connections I've gotten at my internships, and that can be work experience.

Service industry folks have a v high rate of success in law school. It might seem counterintuitive but it's something to consider as well

hcarralero, from one Hispanic to another, R&R with work experience. You will most definitely get into the places you got waitlisted with good scholarships

I still have a few schools left to respond, including my top school, so not giving up hope yet. I'll try to ask for a job after I finish my new internship and see if I can do that while I do my 1 year masters.
