concurrence

Read a random definition: Manual of Patent Examining Procedure

A quick definition of concurrence:

Concurrence means agreement or assent. It can also refer to a judge's vote in favor of a judgment, even if their reasoning differs from the majority. This vote may be accompanied by a separate written opinion, called a concurring opinion. In a bicameral legislature, concurrence occurs when one house accepts an amendment passed by the other house.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Concurrence refers to agreement or assent. It can also refer to a vote cast by a judge in favor of a judgment reached, often on different grounds than those expressed in the opinion or opinions explaining the judgment. Additionally, it can refer to a separate written opinion explaining such a vote. In a bicameral legislature, concurrence refers to the acceptance by one house of an amendment passed by the other house.

  • After much discussion, the board came to a concurrence on the new policy.
  • The judge cast a concurring vote, agreeing with the judgment but for different reasons than the other judges.
  • Justice Stevens wrote a concurring opinion, explaining his reasoning for his vote.
  • The Senate voted to accept the amendment passed by the House, showing concurrence between the two houses of the legislature.

These examples illustrate how concurrence can refer to agreement or assent in various contexts, such as in a board or legislative setting. It can also refer to a judge's agreement with a judgment but for different reasons, as seen in the example of a concurring vote or opinion.

Hey just wondering how to filter data by international Gpa? Can't seem to find this filter option

There’s no intuitive way to do this. The only way I can find is by going to each individual school, scrolling to the part that shows you all applicants for that year, and clicking on the GPA button until it filters them for the blank ones first. I’ve found by clicking on profiles that the ones with an LSAT listed and no GPA are almost universally international
