adverse party

Read a random definition: Supreme Court

A quick definition of adverse party:

An adverse party is the person or group of people who are on the opposite side of a legal case. They have different interests and goals than the other party. For example, if someone is being sued, the adverse party would be the person or group who is suing them.

A more thorough explanation:

An adverse party is the opposing side in a legal case. This means that they have different interests and goals than the other party. For example, if someone is being sued, the adverse party would be the person or entity that is suing them.

In some cases, there may be multiple parties involved in a lawsuit, and they may agree on some issues but be adverse on others. For instance, in a divorce case, the parties may agree on how to divide their property but be adverse when it comes to child custody.

Another example of an adverse party could be in a contract dispute. If one party believes that the other party has breached the terms of the contract, they may take legal action against them. The adverse party in this case would be the party accused of breaching the contract.

Overall, an adverse party is simply the opposing side in a legal case, with different interests and goals than the other party.

Weird that UChicago's deposit deadline was May 1, but it looks like they didn't start pulling from their waitlist until the end of May last year. I wonder why they waited so long.

Yeah, it looks like they sent the feeler email the week before Memorial Day. I guess I wouldn't expect them to make any offers until they send that out.

You're welcome. I'm still surprised that they don't act sooner, though. Wish I could figure out why.
has anybody ever done a WL interview

@ClassyPleasantHeron: I feel like they are potentially waiting out other T-6 waitlists
trees1234567
15:14
to see if they lose any people to other similarly ranked schools
ClassyPleasantHeron
15:15
I guess? All of the T6 have a May 1st deadline, so I wouldn't expect UChicago to go last.
