judicial administration

Read a random definition: presumed maximum value (PMV)

A quick definition of judicial administration:

Judicial administration is the way courts are managed. It includes things like making sure there is enough money to run the courts, choosing who will be on a jury, assigning judges to cases, and keeping records of everything that happens in court. People who work in judicial administration also make sure that everyone is treated fairly and that everyone can access the courts, even if they don't have a lawyer. They also make sure that lawyers are doing their jobs properly and that they keep learning new things to be better at their jobs. There are organizations that help courts and court administrators do their jobs better by providing training and information.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Judicial administration refers to the management of the court system, including its practices, procedures, and offices. It involves overseeing budgets, selecting jurors, assigning judges to cases, creating court calendars, and supervising non-judicial personnel.

Examples: Court administrators, also known as clerks of the court, are responsible for accepting court documents, maintaining case files and records of judgments, and processing paperwork generated by judges. They also work to eliminate bias in the courts, ensure diversity, and provide easier access to the courts for people representing themselves without a lawyer. Another important issue in judicial administration is the certification of court interpreters for testimony given in languages other than English. Offices of professional responsibility, which investigate ethical complaints against lawyers, are also part of the system of judicial administration.

Explanation: Judicial administration is all about managing the court system and making sure it runs smoothly. Court administrators play a crucial role in this by handling paperwork, maintaining records, and ensuring that the courts are fair and accessible to everyone. The certification of court interpreters is important because it ensures that people who don't speak English well can still participate in court proceedings. Offices of professional responsibility help to maintain the integrity of the legal profession by investigating complaints against lawyers who may have acted unethically.

@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

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
