A quick definition of table:

A table is a way to show information in columns and rows. It helps people understand lots of different things, like how much money they will earn if they save a certain amount each month or who is related to who in a family. Sometimes, a table can also be a set of rules written on a special kind of paper called tablets. In meetings, people might use the word "table" to mean they want to talk about something later instead of right now.

A more thorough explanation:

A table is a way of presenting information in a clear and organized manner. It usually consists of columns and rows that show different items related to a particular subject. For example, actuarial tables show statistical information about life expectancy, while genealogical tables show family relationships.

Another meaning of table is a set of laws or rules that are written down on tablets. The Twelve Tables of Roman law is an example of this.

In parliamentary law, the term table is used as a verb. It means to temporarily set aside a matter that is being discussed until the assembly votes to resume its consideration. This is also known as postponing temporarily.

  • An actuarial table that shows the life expectancy of people based on their age and gender.
  • A genealogical table that shows the family tree of a particular family.
  • The Twelve Tables of Roman law, which were inscribed on tablets and contained the laws of the Roman Republic.
  • In a parliamentary meeting, a motion to table a discussion about a new policy until the next meeting.

These examples illustrate how tables can be used to present information in a clear and organized manner. Actuarial tables and genealogical tables use columns and rows to show different types of information, while the Twelve Tables of Roman law use tablets to inscribe laws. In parliamentary law, the term table is used as a verb to temporarily set aside a matter that is being discussed until the assembly votes to resume its consideration.

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

just my opinion but grade inflation is probably more of an undergrad thing since law school grades tend to be on a curve

While representing himself in court, McKinley's sentence was reduced from 100 years to 25, a sentence he served in full. While still incarcerated, he took the LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, and applied to law school - no shit, thats impressive how much he lowered his sentence being pro say
