A quick definition of intake day:

Intake day: The day when new cases are given to the courts to handle. This is when the court first learns about the case and begins to work on it.

A more thorough explanation:

INTAKE DAY

Intake day is the day when new cases are assigned to the courts.

1. The intake day for the local court is every Monday. This means that any new cases that come in during the week will be assigned to a judge on Monday.

2. John's lawyer told him that his case would be heard on the next intake day, which was in two weeks.

Intake day is the day when new cases are assigned to the courts. This means that any new cases that come in during the week will be assigned to a judge on that day. For example, if the intake day is Monday, any new cases that come in during the week will be assigned to a judge on Monday. This helps to ensure that cases are heard in a timely manner and that the court system runs smoothly.

what helped me most for RC was that the right answer will always be in the passage, even if its only implied

NemoPropheta

16:21

so you just have to justify your answer choice with specific line support

NosyBeagle

16:23

the best i've done on lr has been -10. I have a long way to go

windyMagician

16:23

@NosyBeagle: you need to be drilling weak question types and not doing full sets if you're at -10

NosyBeagle

16:25

@windyMagician: i would send the salute emoji if this website supported them

^^ I will say wrong answer journal helped me a loooooottt. I would put a small note on the bottom of every reviewed question about a concept/ idea that I learned from my mistake and review it every once in a while. I came from -11

I think my issue with RC is that for LR if I misread that's one question. But if I misread the tone of an RC passage I'm screwed for a bunch of questions.

windyMagician

16:29

do you have a particularly hard time with one kind of passage, or is it more of an overall problem?

PremiumFrequentCrane

16:29

First, RC is something you been doing since grade 1, so unlike LR or LG, it is something you have been exposed to and you will have a natural affinity for it that will be hard to move beyond. Second, you need to just do more of them lol Know all the rules and question types etc. from a curriculum, one of the tried and true like PS or 7sage or what not, then you just drill. Of course that also means you need to review your answers in depth - you need to find where in your thought process you made an error so it doesnt happen again. It also helps to solidify right thought pathways. And not about content like "oh yeah i guess the blacks in 1870s latino communities were creole," but like "oh yes question asks for y and i said z so in the answer i mistook x for w being the right answer" lol aka structural approach. That is all i gots for free lol hire a tutor if you need more.

For LR, look at it as mathematical word problems with algebra.

Thanks @premiumfrequentcrane. Windy I think (oddly enough) I'm having the most trouble with liberal arts/arts based passages. So anything about the arts/ a writer or author/ music I mess up on even if the passage is super easy.

PremiumFrequentCrane

16:34

Usually happens when you apply too much opinion to the passage lol that is also why i said 0 to -2 is RC mastery as opposed to -0 as sometimes you may think that author's pov in the opera comparative passages is "facetious" and they were looking for "apathetic"

AngryMiniCar

16:36

That's likely true.

PremiumFrequentCrane

Remember, all people who go to law school having to do LSAT prep is also about social engineering lol Like you should have some shared basis in how you think/talkk, hence "lawyer talk," but how do they choose which ones to release for everyone to do, from a content perspective? Is it a coincidence we get many climate change content questions? LOL So what i am getting at is that is sometimes VERY subjective lol So dont beat yourself up TOO bad on arts in RC, but obvs work on it.

How many t-14s are appropriate to apply to if i have a 170 lsat

RasheedWallaceFan

16:41

this is for next cycle

RasheedWallaceFan

16:42

everyone saying medians are gonna be crazy so idk what i should be aiming for. 3.9+ gpa if it matters

RasheedWallaceFan

16:42

r/lsa makes me feel like im stupid for having a 170 lol

windyMagician

16:44

@RasheedWallaceFan: your gpa is above all medians, so apply broadly

RasheedWallaceFan

16:47

Okay thank you for the input, the other thing im struggling with is just making a school list in general. I am insecure so im like do i have to apply to 5 low ranked schools just in case? I guess I am trying to figure out where the "safety" cutoff is and my list right now is 25 schools so idk if thats too much

windyMagician

16:52

@RasheedWallaceFan: 25 is on the high end, but you should apply to however many you feel comfortable with. imo, a safety is anywhere you are well above both medians. you can look at my school list for inspo if you'd like

windyMagician

16:52

you shouldn't apply to anywhere you wouldn't realistically go if it was your only offer

RasheedWallaceFan

16:55

for sure, thank you a lot. Have fun at michigan that will be awesome!
