Simple English definitions for legal terms

employee pro hac vice

Read a random definition: scope-of-work clause

A quick definition of employee pro hac vice:

An employee is a person who works for someone else under a contract. The employer has the right to control how the work is done. A borrowed employee is someone who agrees to work for another employer temporarily. The borrowing employer is responsible for the borrowed employee's actions. A probationary employee is someone who is being evaluated during a trial period of employment. A statutory employee is covered by the employer's workers' compensation insurance and cannot sue the employer for unintentional injuries on the job.

A more thorough explanation:

An employee pro hac vice is a borrowed employee who has given their consent to work for another employer temporarily. The borrowing employer assumes control over the employee's work, and under the doctrine of respondeat superior, they are vicariously liable for the employee's acts. However, the employer may also be entitled to assert immunity under workers'-compensation laws.

For example, if a construction company borrows an electrician from an electrical company to work on a project, the electrician becomes an employee pro hac vice of the construction company. If the electrician causes damage or injury while working on the project, the construction company is responsible for their actions.

Another example is when a restaurant hires a probationary employee to work during a trial period of employment. The probationary employee's ability and performance are being evaluated, and they may become a permanent employee if they meet the employer's expectations.

Statutory employees are workers who are covered, or required to be covered, by the employer's workers'-compensation insurance. They have no independent tort claim against the employer for unintentional injuries suffered on the job. For instance, a delivery driver who is injured while making a delivery for their employer is a statutory employee.

@RasheedWallaceFan: yeah for some reason SMU isnt listed on any of the rankings lists. Been that way all year
@NemoPropheta: you only got another 40+ years of it!
@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

late march is way too late

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
