Simple English definitions for legal terms

original process

Read a random definition: writ of probable cause

A quick definition of original process:

Original process: This refers to the process that was first used to do something. For example, if a company has a new way of making a product, the original process is the first way they did it. In legal terms, it can also refer to the way a case was first handled in court.

Original promise: This is a promise that was made at the beginning of something. For example, if someone promises to do something when they start a job, that is the original promise. It can also refer to a promise made at the beginning of a contract or agreement.

Original receiver: This is the person who was supposed to receive something first. For example, if a package is sent to a company, the original receiver is the person who was supposed to get it first. In legal terms, it can also refer to the main person who receives money or benefits from a case.

Original source: This is the person who first told someone about something. For example, if someone tells a secret to a friend, the friend is the original source. In legal terms, it can refer to the person who first tells the government about fraud or wrongdoing.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The term "original process" refers to the process that is initiated by the person or persons who first disclosed fraud to the government. This information is derived from direct and indirect sources and is used to file a qui tam complaint under the False Claims Act or a similar state law.

Example: John, an employee of a healthcare company, discovers that the company is overbilling Medicare for services that were not provided. He decides to blow the whistle and discloses this information to the government. The information provided by John is used to initiate the original process, which leads to an investigation and potential legal action against the healthcare company.

Explanation: In this example, John is the original source of information that leads to the initiation of the original process. His disclosure of fraud to the government is the first step in the process of uncovering and prosecuting fraudulent activity. The original process is important because it allows individuals to come forward and report fraud without fear of retaliation, and it helps to protect the government from financial losses due to fraudulent activity.

I am sick of law schools sending out emails without the option to unsubscribe. It's straight up illegal and shows you the quality of education you will get there.

Lmaoo the Zoom seminars
GW is requesting my fall transcripts (I had intended to apply during the fall semester when I requested them, but had three hurricanes-one with water rescues in my neighborhood-an emergency 2 1/2 week trip to Colorado to say goodbye to my mother-in-law, then I received my service dog, which required another eight days away from school for training), so I ended up applying this month. If I request new transcripts through LSAC, does each school I applied to receive them? I'm hoping to not have to write an addendum of why all of my narrative evaluations mention my busy schedule or that I had to miss classes and whatnot. (My school doesn't do letter grades.)

Yes, they receive them automatically from LSAC
@AnotherUsername1: Thank you! :)

'tis very sad
It sucks cause I feel like I fucked up my video statement but the rest of my app was strong and now the video statement isn't even a requirement
I think as long as you haven't been R or WL, you're still in the running! I don't think they'd leave anyone hanging if they already knew! <3

Tried negotiating scholarships with the school but they basically called my bluff saying I have to share other letters by the deposit deadline to get any $. It feels good to bet on myself though
