A quick definition of class suit:

A class suit, also known as a class action, is a type of lawsuit where one person or a small group of people can represent a larger group of people who have similar legal issues. This is helpful when it would be too difficult for each person to file their own lawsuit. The court must approve the class action and make sure that the representative person or group will protect the interests of everyone in the larger group. This type of lawsuit is used to make sure that everyone who is affected by a legal issue has a chance to have their voice heard in court.

A more thorough explanation:

A class suit, also known as a class action, is a type of lawsuit where a single person or a small group of people represent the interests of a larger group. This is done when it is impractical for each individual in the group to file a separate lawsuit.

For example, if a company sells a defective product that harms many people, those people can file a class action lawsuit against the company. The court will authorize a representative to act on behalf of all the people affected by the defective product. This saves time and money for everyone involved.

There are several requirements for a class action lawsuit to be maintained, including a large enough group of people, common legal or factual questions, typical claims or defenses, and adequate representation for the class.

Overall, a class suit is a way for a group of people to seek justice and compensation for harm caused by a company or organization.

@PremiumFrequentCrane Is right.
You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

look at my lawyer dawg... im going to jail
Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.
For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.
@NosyBeagle: just makes me think of vanillamace

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far
16:58
late march is way too late
16:58
early doesn’t matter but before thanksgiving matters

Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.
I mean early early might be overblown but dont apply if you are applying in march
