A quick definition of oral argument:

Term: Oral Argument

Definition: When a lawyer talks in front of a court (usually an appeals court) to support or oppose a legal decision. This is the lawyer's chance to answer questions and convince the judges to rule in their favor. It's really important because it's the only time the lawyer gets to talk directly to the judges and make their case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Oral argument is when a lawyer speaks in front of a court, usually an appellate court, to support or oppose a legal relief that is being discussed. It is also called a hearing in British English.

Example: During an oral argument, a lawyer may present their case and answer questions from the judges. For example, if a person is appealing a court decision, their lawyer may argue why the decision was wrong and why it should be changed.

Explanation: Oral argument is an important part of the legal process because it allows lawyers to present their arguments in person and answer any questions the judges may have. This helps the judges make a more informed decision about the case. The example shows how a lawyer may use oral argument to try to convince the judges to change a court decision.

PURRR and this is gonna sound silly but reading helps with reading comp (bear with me) ,,, if you have time, try to start incorporating reading a few chapters of a book that forces you to comprehend and challenge what you're reading (philosphy, etc.)

Yeahhhh... I will say that whole VIEWSTAMP thing is pretty grounding tho when you're completely at a loss.
felt like those people that are like "depressed? just drink water" when i said bad rc? just read <3

I got better at RC when I slowed down my reading intentionally. I think it was more mental than anything because I think anxiety would get in the way of comprehension

It's more so a reach for 100% and maybe you
I just want to make enough money to support my family and give my wife the opportunity to take time off work to raise kids (if that's what she wants, I just don't want her to feel pressure to work if she'd rather stay home). It seems like going to a strong regional school and doing well all but guarantees that life
you could post a meme and someone is bound to comment 'stats'

tbf I think it's the "doing well" that worries people; it's easy to imagine yourself doing well, but the applicant pool for law school kind of self-selects a lot of people who do well. so graduating in the top x% of your strong regional school's class is more of a crapshoot than it might seem

@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: Yes, but, not to be cocky (especialy given my GPA hahaha), the LSAT seems to be a pretty decent predictor of law school performance. If you have a higher LSAT but choose to attend a regional school with a more average median LSAT you're probably going to do well if you try hard
