specialty bar

Read a random definition: short-shipped

A quick definition of specialty bar:

A specialty bar is a group of lawyers who have a special interest or practice in a specific area of law. It is a voluntary association that lawyers can choose to join. The bar can also refer to the railing in a courtroom that separates the front area where court business is conducted from the back area where observers sit. It can also refer to a barrier or legal objection that prevents a claim or action from proceeding.

A more thorough explanation:

A specialty bar is a voluntary bar association for lawyers with specific interests, backgrounds, or practices. It is a subset of the legal profession that focuses on a particular area of law or group of lawyers.

For example, there may be a specialty bar for environmental law, immigration law, or women lawyers. These associations provide a forum for lawyers to network, share knowledge, and advocate for their interests.

Specialty bars are different from integrated bars, which are mandatory bar associations that lawyers must join to practice law in a particular jurisdiction. Voluntary bars, on the other hand, are optional and do not require membership for lawyers to practice law.

Overall, specialty bars are a way for lawyers to connect with others who share their interests and to further their professional development in a specific area of law.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
