A quick definition of dilatory tactics:

Term: Dilatory tactics

Definition: Dilatory tactics are when someone in a lawsuit tries to slow down the legal process by doing things that are not necessary or by using the rules in a tricky way. This can include filing unnecessary motions or making things more complicated than they need to be. If someone is caught using dilatory tactics, they can get in trouble with the court.

A more thorough explanation:

Dilatory tactics

Dilatory tactics are when someone in a lawsuit tries to slow down the legal process by using the rules in a sneaky way. For example, they might file a motion that the court has to stop and review, which delays the case. If someone is caught using dilatory tactics, they can get in trouble with the court.

Imagine you're in a lawsuit with someone who owes you money. They might use dilatory tactics to try to avoid paying you. They could file a motion to dismiss the case, even if they know it has no chance of succeeding. This would force the court to spend time reviewing the motion, which would delay the case and cost you more money in legal fees.

Another example of dilatory tactics is when someone asks for a lot of extra time to respond to a request for information. They might say they need more time to gather the documents, even if they already have them. This would delay the case and make it harder for the other side to prepare their arguments.

These examples show how dilatory tactics can be used to slow down a lawsuit and make it harder for the other side to win. It's important for the court to be aware of these tactics and take action to prevent them.

Tell us what's important to you
pls they have to be Fancy lmfao
@windyMagician: last i looked many people HATE accommodations and the abuse fucks like you create in the system. If this supposed fancy girl called that out, i support it lmfao Fucking half the t14 wouldnt be there without "let me be marked with double the time" special treatment. People who would score 163 and not be in a t14 if they didnt have accommodations, like the 165 above them who is exactly like them, aka not on pills not in therapy first time EVER testing with accommodations. Fucking cheater pieces of shit, this is all another way to gatekeep from the rich re their little shits needing to inherit so they expensive diagnoses from 5 and test that way all life when dont need it but guess what? WIth double time they score above people without! lmfao
"supposed Fancy girl" is taking me out

needing accomdations for tests isn't cheating tho. you just need extra help because your brain isn't typical of most test takers
It is when they dont need them lmfao then they go "oh no i do need them i just didnt know i had adhd until 24 and took hundreds of tests my whole life without, but the tutor said just do it" lmfao no one says people who really need it shouldnt get it, but the thing is 80%+ are people who just go "i need lsat to get into the school i want and getting double time moves me from 167 to 177 and that is worth a 300k scholarship and a job making 260k at grad instead of 80k"

I wonder if the logic games removal makes the LSAT easier or harder. Many people I’ve spoken to said that was their favorite section
@NosyBeagle: you can use something like this: https://www.talkwithfrida.com/adult-adhd-diagnosis/ and now you magically have adhd! And can get double time! All for about $300 lmfao aka you buy a 300k scholarship and a job with an extra 100k+ per year for $300. Many do this. They compete for spots, not to be the most deserving.

i think i could've conquered logic games if i gave myself more time to study. but i don't miss it tbh
NosyBeagle
11:48
$300? bruh
This is why i say everyone should get the double time test. No more accommodations, completely level playing field, aka equality of opportunity. Logic games are the funnest to study but LR is exactly the same on being able to EXPECT -0. And yes, $300 or less depending where you live! And lsac will allow that to get double time, only 3 sections, unlimited stop/start in the sessions, and 15 minute breaks lmfao you can also get it on paper!
11:56
@PremiumFrequentCrane: yeah double time is excessive since a significant part of being a lawyer is meeting deadlines, like if they gave an extra 5-10 minutes, whatever, but 1h10m to answer 25 MC questions is overkill
girl i don’t have accommodations
11:59
i do :3
11:59
time and a half

all i sent them was my 504 plan from high school nthey said bet
12:00
unmedicated tho
@FrioJGenius: good thing our top schools who feed into the top roles and most important places disagree! They say "give me the kid who scores 155 l;egit and 172 with double time, they are better than the 167 legit no double time"
okay get ur money up

There’s been about a 30% increase nation wide in law school apps this school, I believe this may just favor larger institutions & I’m curious to see if schools begin to take in larger class sizes to compensate
12:06
@ronniedoeslaw: only if employers are willing to hire more lawyers, which seems doubtful. Schools dont want unemployed grads
class sizes appear to be staying the same

veo3 is scary
