unethical

Read a random definition: redistrict

A quick definition of unethical:

Unethical: When someone does something that is not right or fair according to the rules of what is good and bad behavior. This can happen when people don't follow the rules that are set for their job or profession, like lawyers who don't treat their clients fairly. It's important to be ethical and do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Unethical (adjective) means not following moral norms or professional standards of conduct. Legal ethics (noun) refers to the minimum standards of appropriate behavior within the legal profession, including the duties that lawyers owe to each other, their clients, and the courts. It can also refer to the study or observance of those duties, as well as the written regulations governing them.

Examples: An example of unethical behavior would be a lawyer who lies to their client or the court. Another example would be a lawyer who takes advantage of their client's trust to benefit themselves financially. These actions violate the standards of legal ethics and can result in disciplinary action or even disbarment.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how unethical behavior goes against the moral and professional standards expected of lawyers. Lying to a client or the court undermines the integrity of the legal system and can harm innocent people. Taking advantage of a client's trust is a breach of the lawyer's duty to act in their client's best interests. These actions are not only unethical but can also be illegal and have serious consequences for the lawyer involved.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
