Term: BARRA

Definition: Barra is a word that comes from Law French and means "bar". It has two meanings: 1) plea in bar, which is a legal term, and 2) a barrister, which is a type of lawyer. Another way to spell it is "barre".

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Barra is a word that comes from Law French and means "bar". It has two historical meanings:

Plea in bar: A legal defense that prevents a case from proceeding.
Barrister: A type of lawyer who is qualified to represent clients in court.

For example, if a defendant raises a plea in bar, they are arguing that the case against them should be dismissed because of a legal technicality. A barrister, on the other hand, is a type of lawyer who has been called to the bar and is qualified to represent clients in court.

The term "bar" in this context refers to the physical barrier that separates lawyers and judges from the rest of the courtroom. Only qualified lawyers are allowed to pass this barrier and represent clients in court.

@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again

@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo

SpecialCrowdedElemental

15:04

(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)

c0bra1

15:07

transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol

c0bra1

15:08

i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to

i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done
