A quick definition of common jury:

A common jury is a group of people chosen by the law to decide if someone is guilty or not guilty in a court case. They listen to the evidence and then make a decision, called a verdict. Sometimes, there are special types of juries, like a grand jury or a blue-ribbon jury, but a common jury is also called a petit jury. Their job is very important because they help make sure that justice is served.

A more thorough explanation:

A common jury is a group of individuals selected according to the law to decide questions of fact and return a verdict in a case submitted to them. This type of jury is also known as a petit jury or trial jury. The common jury is usually composed of 6 or 12 people and is summoned and empaneled in the trial of a specific case.

  • A common jury was empaneled to hear the case of the defendant accused of robbery.
  • In a civil case, the parties have no right to a jury trial, but an advisory jury may be empaneled to hear the case. The judge may accept or reject the advisory jury's verdict.
  • A blue-ribbon jury is a type of common jury consisting of jurors who are selected for their special qualities, such as advanced education or special training. This type of jury is sometimes used in a complex civil case or for a grand jury investigating governmental corruption.

These examples illustrate how a common jury is selected and empaneled to hear a specific case and make a decision based on the evidence presented to them.

@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
