strongly corroborated

Read a random definition: disturbance of ways

A quick definition of strongly corroborated:

Strongly corroborated: When someone says something in court, it's important to have evidence that supports what they're saying. If the evidence is strong and clear, it can help convince the judge and jury that what the person is saying is true. This is called "strongly corroborated" testimony.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: STRONGLY CORROBORATED
Definition: When testimony is strongly corroborated, it means that it is supported by independent facts and circumstances that are powerful, satisfactory, and clear to the court and jury.
Examples: A witness testifies that they saw a suspect at the scene of a crime. This testimony is strongly corroborated if there is also video footage of the suspect at the scene, DNA evidence linking the suspect to the crime, and other witnesses who saw the suspect at the same time and place. Another example could be a victim's testimony about being assaulted, which is strongly corroborated if there are medical records showing injuries consistent with the assault, eyewitnesses who saw the victim shortly after the assault, and security footage showing the suspect in the area at the time of the assault.
Explanation: When testimony is strongly corroborated, it means that there is a lot of evidence supporting it. This evidence comes from different sources and is powerful enough to convince a court and jury that the testimony is true. In the examples given, the testimony is supported by other evidence such as video footage, DNA evidence, medical records, eyewitnesses, and security footage. This makes the testimony more believable and helps to prove the case.

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I wrote mine about how all activists should be consolidated into a large smelting pot and refined down to a viscous goo

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P
11:11
The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS
12:03
@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol

12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think
[] baddestbunny

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI
