emergency circumstances

Read a random definition: Phonograms Convention

A quick definition of emergency circumstances:

Emergency circumstances refer to situations that require immediate action or attention. These situations may allow people to bypass usual procedures or require police officers to take immediate action without a warrant. Examples of emergency circumstances include when someone's life or safety is threatened, a suspect is about to escape, or evidence is about to be destroyed. It is important to act quickly and appropriately in emergency circumstances to ensure the safety and well-being of those involved.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Emergency circumstances refer to situations that require immediate action and may allow people to bypass usual procedures. These situations may involve threats to a person's life or safety, imminent suspect escape, or the removal or destruction of evidence.

Examples:

  • A neighbor breaking through a window of a burning house to save someone inside is an example of emergency circumstances.
  • A police officer taking immediate action to make an arrest, search, or seizure without a warrant due to probable cause is another example of emergency circumstances.

These examples illustrate how emergency circumstances demand quick action to prevent harm or loss of life. In both cases, people are allowed to bypass usual procedures to address the situation at hand.

Can anyone explain to me how the automatic status tracker works? Like do I need to enter just my LSAC/LawHub login info, or does it require the specific login portal credentials for each school? Also, how much information will this update? Will it be just the current status, or will it automatically add date applied, completion date, etc.? Thanks in advance!

Good morning

You’re comparing a scholarship offer you don’t have yet to one you do. Why don’t you wait and see what Berkeley offers you before you come to a decision?
12:20
Because I’m stressing over this huge decision and even if they do give me money it’ll be super super expensive
12:33
Okay fair. Then I guess it depends how much you prioritize the specific outcome of unicorn PI vs graduating without an insane amount of debt
12:59
Yeah exactly 😓

If you truly want “unicorn” PI, I would assume that’s not even a real possibility out of UMiami
13:51
I do think people might be using the term unicorn PI too liberally
13:51
Used to mean career outcomes that were pretty much only possible out of HYS and maybe NYU
Some consider Unicorn PI to include things like Asst US Attorney. In that case, you can achieve that by going anywhere that will allow you sit for the bar so long as your grades are strong and your internships and/or clerkships align.

Chowie go to Berk cause that's probably where I end up
16:34
But in all seriousness I would take Miami. If you're 100% committed to PI I don't think the .1% outcome that may be possible from Berk is worth taking on insane debt
has anyone heard back on a saturday or sunday?
and do we think any school would send out decisions on monday (since its presidents day)
