adjudication hearing

Read a random definition: Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

A quick definition of adjudication hearing:

An adjudication hearing is a type of court session where a judge decides on issues of fact or law. It can be open to the public and may involve witnesses testifying. In administrative law, it can also refer to a setting where a person presents arguments to an agency decision-maker. In child-abuse and neglect proceedings, it is the trial stage where the court hears the state's allegations and evidence and decides whether the state has the right to intervene on behalf of the child. In a juvenile-delinquency case, it is a hearing where the court hears evidence of the charges and makes a finding of whether the charges are true or not true.

A more thorough explanation:

An adjudication hearing is a legal proceeding where a judge or decision-maker listens to evidence and arguments from both sides to make a decision on a legal matter. It can be held in various types of cases, including criminal, administrative, and family law.

  • In a criminal case, an adjudication hearing may be held to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial.
  • In an administrative case, an adjudication hearing may be held to decide if a person's rights and duties have been violated by an agency.
  • In a family law case, an adjudication hearing may be held to determine if a child has been abused or neglected and if the state has the right to intervene on behalf of the child.

These examples illustrate how an adjudication hearing is a formal process where evidence is presented and a decision is made based on the facts and law.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
Remember, all people who go to law school having to do LSAT prep is also about social engineering lol Like you should have some shared basis in how you think/talkk, hence "lawyer talk," but how do they choose which ones to release for everyone to do, from a content perspective? Is it a coincidence we get many climate change content questions? LOL So what i am getting at is that is sometimes VERY subjective lol So dont beat yourself up TOO bad on arts in RC, but obvs work on it.
How many t-14s are appropriate to apply to if i have a 170 lsat
this is for next cycle
everyone saying medians are gonna be crazy so idk what i should be aiming for. 3.9+ gpa if it matters
r/lsa makes me feel like im stupid for having a 170 lol
@RasheedWallaceFan: your gpa is above all medians, so apply broadly
Okay thank you for the input, the other thing im struggling with is just making a school list in general. I am insecure so im like do i have to apply to 5 low ranked schools just in case? I guess I am trying to figure out where the "safety" cutoff is and my list right now is 25 schools so idk if thats too much
@RasheedWallaceFan: 25 is on the high end, but you should apply to however many you feel comfortable with. imo, a safety is anywhere you are well above both medians. you can look at my school list for inspo if you'd like
you shouldn't apply to anywhere you wouldn't realistically go if it was your only offer
for sure, thank you a lot. Have fun at michigan that will be awesome!

i do them in between studying to keep sane
@RasheedWallaceFan: take your list and research the city, campus, tuition, bar passage, employment by sector, etc.!!! it might help you narrow down your school choices
also don't pay much attention to the people on reddit. there's genuinely good advice but there's a ton of people who are just energy vampires (average reddit user)
@NosyBeagle: that is so real

The real reason why lawyers are alchoholics... Because there is so much of a wait time between tests and scores.

i already became one in undergrad so ill fit right in
Are the 7sage app requirements as far as essays go accurate? I would love to spend my summer preparing my applications but I dont want to waste time writing essays that wont be there. Is there a way to know what will be on the apps, or when those apps will be available to view? Or should I just focus on my PS and DS for now?
@RasheedWallaceFan: they were accurate for me, but school requirements change year to year and there's no way for anyone to know for sure
