Simple English definitions for legal terms

subcontractor

Read a random definition: blanket agreement

A quick definition of subcontractor:

A subcontractor is someone who is hired by a main contractor to do part of a job. They might then hire someone else to help them with that job. Subcontractors are independent and not employees of the main contractor. This happens a lot in big projects like building houses, where different people are needed to do different parts of the work.

A more thorough explanation:

A subcontractor is a person or company that is hired by a general contractor to do part of the work on a project. The general contractor has a contract with the client to complete the project, but they may not have all the skills or resources needed to do everything themselves. So, they hire subcontractors to help them.

For example, if a general contractor is building a house, they may hire a subcontractor to do the plumbing, another to lay the floors, and another to install the electrical wiring. Each subcontractor has their own contract with the general contractor, and they are responsible for their own work.

Subcontractors are independent and not employees of the general contractor. They are responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and other expenses.

Subcontracting is common in many industries, including construction, manufacturing, and software development. It allows companies to work on larger projects and bring in specialized expertise as needed.

What does "Hold" mean on the result column?
21:28
@ClockworkBlue: on LSD?

babycat
21:30
A hold is not exactly a waitlist, but it means they’re waiting to give you a decision later
babycat
21:31
@llama: nice
21:32
@ClockworkBlue: what babycat said, the link reads as the school always initiates the 'hold' status, however [in my case] sometimes applicants ask to be placed on 'hold' pending a score (LSAT, final semester of UG, etc).
21:32
@babycat: just had to get that off my chest.
cornell kira is just about performing well under pressure and having substantive content in your questions
so just try to stay calm and pace your responses so you give good answers during the interview
21:44

Aye gang (esp. @shaquilleoatmeal) so I went with Zanzibar City over dolphins and I 100% do not regret it. One of the highlights of my whole Africa trip, lovely to see all its cultural blends and architecture. You should all visit this place in your lives, seriously
