A quick definition of visne:

Term: VISNE

Definition: Visne means neighborhood. In the past, it was the area from which juries were chosen in common law. It is also known as vicinage.

A more thorough explanation:

VISNE

Visne (pronounced veen or veen-ee) is a legal term that refers to a neighborhood or district from which juries were drawn in common law. It is also known as vicinage.

For example, if a trial was taking place in a certain county, the visne or vicinage would be the surrounding area from which potential jurors would be selected. This was done to ensure that the jury was made up of individuals who were familiar with the area and the people involved in the case.

Another example would be if a crime was committed in a specific neighborhood, the visne or vicinage would be the area immediately surrounding the location of the crime.

The examples illustrate how visne or vicinage is used in the legal system to determine the area from which potential jurors are selected. This helps to ensure that the jury is made up of individuals who are familiar with the area and the people involved in the case, which can lead to a fairer trial. It also helps to determine the area where a crime was committed, which can be important in determining jurisdiction and other legal matters.

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
