Supreme Court

Read a random definition: delegation

A quick definition of Supreme Court:

Supreme Court: The highest court in a place, like the United States or California. It's the most important court and makes big decisions that affect everyone. Sometimes there are other courts with "Supreme Court" in their name, but they're not as important as the real Supreme Court.

A more thorough explanation:

Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is the highest court in a jurisdiction. For example, the Supreme Court of the United States is the highest court in the country. It is responsible for interpreting the Constitution and making decisions on important legal issues. In some jurisdictions, there may be a lower court called the Supreme Court, but this is just a name and does not indicate any higher appellate power. For example, the Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn, New York is a lower court in the state's judicial system.

One example of the Supreme Court is the United States Supreme Court. This court has the final say on legal issues in the country and its decisions are binding on all lower courts. Another example is the Supreme Court of California, which is the highest court in the state. It hears appeals from lower courts and has the power to interpret state law.

The Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn, New York is an example of a lower court that is called the Supreme Court. Despite its name, it is not the highest court in the state and its decisions can be appealed to higher courts.

These examples illustrate the definition of the Supreme Court as the highest court in a jurisdiction. They also show that in some jurisdictions, there may be a lower court called the Supreme Court, but this does not indicate any higher appellate power.

W&L is pretty decent. The location is out in BFE, but they have decent placements and give a good scholarship

Their bar pass rate is alright as well (not the best, but not the worst). The employment rate is also decently high...while biglaw is certainly achievable, it will be a challenge (top 1/4 of your class, most likely)

When did you interview again, Jack?
end of september 💔
this is insane man
@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: probably reached out to their S tier applicants first, you will need a bit of luck anyway so it is normal they didnt immedietly get back to you because that immediate response couldve been an R!!
@myproudestnut: that gives me so much hope actually. I feel like if they werent interested in my application they wouldve rejected me by now. maybe theyll put me on waitlist or something too, ugh. sucks to be below both medians because you never really know if u got in until like march lol
im ED at CLS with 163 and 3.6, if i get in ill lose my shit
yep the below both medians life does not include timely responses and instant gratification unfortunately. Be grateful for no news because it could have been immediate bad news
someone did tell me that after group II they had radio silence for over three months and then got in LOL so i know it doesn't mean much but im still so annoyed 😭 ppl who interviewed later than me have already gotten decisions
u never know!
who knows jack they could have been perfect stat applicants whos uncle is a congressman
or a big 4 accounting exectuvie
a million possibilities
