A quick definition of hazard:

A hazard is something that can be dangerous or cause harm. It can be a risk or a contributing factor to a dangerous situation. There are different types of hazards, such as occupational hazards that are specific to certain jobs, physical hazards that come from the material world, and moral hazards that come from people's attitudes. Hazards can also be covered by insurance policies, and there are laws to protect people from imminent hazards that can harm the environment or endangered species.

A more thorough explanation:

A hazard is a danger or risk that can cause harm or injury. It can be a contributing factor to a peril, which is a situation that is dangerous or risky. For example, if you are driving in heavy rain, the hazard is the slippery road that increases the risk of an accident.

There are different types of hazards:

  • Occupational hazard: A danger or risk that is specific to a particular job or occupation. For instance, construction workers face hazards such as falls from heights, electrical shocks, and exposure to hazardous materials.
  • Physical hazard: A hazard that originates from the material world, such as location, structure, occupancy, or exposure. For example, a chemical spill in a factory is a physical hazard that can cause harm to workers.
  • Moral hazard: A hazard that arises from mental attitudes, such as dishonesty, carelessness, or insanity. An example of moral hazard is when an insured person intentionally damages their property to collect insurance money.
  • Imminent hazard: An immediate danger that requires urgent action to prevent harm. In environmental law, an imminent hazard can be a situation where the use of a pesticide can cause adverse effects on the environment or endanger a species.

Overall, a hazard is something that poses a risk or danger to people, property, or the environment. It is important to identify and manage hazards to prevent accidents, injuries, or damage.

Like some schools have a conditional scholarship that they take away from you at the drop of a hat and no faculty support in 1L so a lot of people get fucked. I know someone who got screwed by Western New England. Not saying that it is just that I wouldn't think of making it my go-to without digging into it.

Ok thank you!

check the 509 report, should show bar passage rate, employment data, and percent of students that retained their scholarship after 1L
