A quick definition of specially accredited agent:

A specially accredited agent is someone who is authorized to act for someone else, like a representative. They can make contracts on behalf of the person they represent. They are different from other types of agents, like a general agent who can do all kinds of business for the person they represent. A specially accredited agent is chosen for a specific reason and has special permission to act on behalf of the person they represent.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A specially accredited agent is an agent with whom a third person has been specially invited to deal by the principal under circumstances leading the third person to believe that he or she will be notified if the authority is altered or revoked.

Example: A real estate agent who is authorized by the seller to sell a property and has invited a potential buyer to deal with them exclusively. The agent has been specially accredited by the seller to deal with the buyer and the buyer can trust that the agent will notify them if the authority is altered or revoked.

Explanation: In this example, the seller has given the agent the authority to sell their property and has invited the potential buyer to deal with the agent exclusively. The buyer can trust that the agent has been specially accredited by the seller and will notify them if the authority is altered or revoked. This ensures that the buyer can rely on the agent's representation and that their interests are protected.

@SuperficialBlueWeasel: The reality is you are likely behind a gaggle of Sept-Oct. applicants. THe schools are backed up with apps. Some are fast, others are really slow. Also some schools may have had adcoms retire/ shortage of cannonfadder app readers. Try to chill out/research the schools you have applied to so when you get an answer you can move quick and lock up a deal/

In the event you have not received an admissions decision yet, have you tried turning your computer on and off, have you tried checking your span, and have you ensured your email inbox is not full?

I was interested in applying to 'Bama law. Called them up, asked if they had any distant cousins attending their institution based on family name/ Ancestry.con DNA. They did not. I replied I was regrettably no longer interested in their institution.

I wonder if schools are punishing R&R's with no increases to GPA or LSAT.

JuicyApple

Or no new work experience.

Last cycle people who are too burnt to go get something impressive to add to their resume and application.

@JuicyApple: Oh no doubt. Wouldn't you be perturbed if you rejected someone and they came back next year with a 'hey boo, its me again' ?

fedclerkhopeful

21:02

Yeah that’s def a real fear. I think too it puts people who have high stats but are going to reapply in a weird place because you can’t even improve the most important parts of your app

11ama

21:03

I'm sure it falls in the same category as retaking the LSAT: one more thing to be held against you.

JuicyApple

21:05

Alrighty then. Sounds bad.

OlDirtyBtard

21:06

Pretty crazy sheer number of applicants, IMO. I hope people find fulfilling work, yet I fear the future will not reveal said state of affairs since movies/culture makes law seem much more bad ass than it is.

Law = paper pusher maxxing, prove me wrong;

Yeah, idk. I have been here like almost over a year now and I don't understand why half the people I meet go to law school. I was shadowing classes yesterday and today and the people I talked to in those 1L classes were like totally disinterested in the subject, getting questions wrong I knew as a paralegal, and didn't have any idea what they wanted to do post grad. Blew my mind. Maybe it's cus I shadowed a lower ranking scholl yesterday and today but it's weird.

Law school I fear is becoming just like another idk what I want to do post undergrad option and I need more time to find out so I am going to go to school some more which is like the opposite of what people should do.
