A quick definition of long cause:

Long cause: A term used in California courts to describe a trial or hearing that will take a long time. The length of a long cause trial or hearing varies depending on the type of case and the court's rules. For example, in some courts, any hearing that will take longer than 30 minutes is considered a long cause hearing. The length of the trial or hearing can affect when it is scheduled and which calendar it is placed on.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Long Cause is a term used in California state courts to describe a trial or hearing that is expected to take a long time. The length of a long cause trial or hearing varies depending on the jurisdiction.

For example, in the Santa Clara County Superior Court, a long cause hearing is defined as "any hearing other than a trial that will take longer than 30 minutes." In family law, a long-cause hearing is defined as a hearing on a request for order that extends more than a single court day.

The length of the trial or hearing may affect when the trial or hearing is scheduled on the calendar or which calendar the case is placed on. For instance, in the San Mateo County Superior Court, all matters estimated by counsel to require a hearing of longer than fifteen (15) minutes shall be set on the long cause calendar.

Overall, long cause refers to a trial or hearing that is expected to take a long time, and it is important to know the length of the trial or hearing to determine when it will be scheduled on the calendar.

@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again

@Sex-Drive: we have entirely different living standards if you think 60k is "hardly anything to live off of:"
i make around that in a hcol area and feel like im balling out while saving over 20% of my income
@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

probably calling me an anti-hispanic slur
if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo
(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)
15:07
transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol
15:08
i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to
15:09
i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done
