TBC

Read a random definition: Court of Civil Appeals

A quick definition of TBC:

TBC stands for "Trial Before the Court." It's when a judge decides if someone is guilty or innocent, instead of a jury. Sometimes, trials can be divided into two parts, like for figuring out if someone is guilty and then deciding their punishment. Trials can also be open to the public or closed, depending on the situation. If there are mistakes made during a trial, it might have to be done again, which is called a new trial.

A more thorough explanation:

TBC stands for "Trial Before the Court". It is a formal judicial examination of evidence and determination of legal claims in an adversary proceeding. It can also refer to a bench trial, which is a trial before a judge without a jury. The judge decides questions of fact as well as questions of law.

  • A defendant may choose to have a TBC instead of a jury trial.
  • In a bench trial, the judge acts as both the fact-finder and the decision-maker.

These examples illustrate how TBC refers to a type of trial where the judge makes the final decision instead of a jury. It is often used when a defendant wants a quicker trial or when the case involves complex legal issues that a jury may not understand.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure

is Cornell a school where only people who interview get in?
I think so
She said historically a quarter get interview invites and then two thirds of those people get in.

Funniest shit about Oppenheimer to me was some chick at the end of the movie saying dead serious to her boyfriend "That movie was kinda boring, I wish there were more explosions". Like she wanted us to bomb Japan harder or something. It was such an awkward thing to say and it made me laugh.
