A quick definition of scheduled injury:

A scheduled injury is when someone gets hurt on the job and the law has a specific list of injuries that are covered. These injuries can include things like losing a finger or an eye, or hurting your back. The law provides a way for the injured person to get help and compensation for their injury.

A more thorough explanation:

A scheduled injury is a type of injury that is listed in a schedule or table of injuries. These schedules are used to determine the amount of compensation that an injured worker is entitled to receive under workers' compensation laws.

  • Loss of a limb
  • Loss of vision or hearing
  • Permanent disfigurement
  • Paralysis

For example, if a worker loses a limb in a workplace accident, the amount of compensation they receive will be based on the schedule of injuries for that particular type of injury. The schedule will specify the amount of compensation for the loss of a hand, arm, foot, leg, etc.

Overall, scheduled injuries are a way to ensure that injured workers receive fair compensation for their injuries, based on the severity and type of injury they have suffered.

i know a fair few from my UG (state school in NC) ended up there, only ever encountered one lawyer who went there in ATL

id hang on to Howard until they said no or yes. their outcomes gap between Howard and Elon justifies it imo
Mountaineer99
10:30
i concur with WID
aziza
10:32
no i get that, im literally trying to hold on. My partner is going to be moving w me too so the last minute decision to go out of state versus staying in state to go to elon would make all the diffference

Ohio might as well be the South
aziza
10:33
Im also fearful that by the time i hear back from them, housing that accepts student loans as proof of income will be all taken and im planning on going no contact w my family so thats beat
Mountaineer99
10:33
NC's kinda rough. The outcome gap between Duke/UNC/WFU and the other law schools in state is nuts

It wouldve been cool to see if I couldve gotten into some reaches, not that my stats are great, but I figured I would save application money after getting into South Carolina so quickly
Mountaineer99
10:34
you'd probably get some decent options if you applied widely earlier in the cycle
aziza
10:34
i work w a attorney that went to elon and she complained ab a 17$ pack of chicken at costco so im actually petrified
Mountaineer99
10:34
not that USC and GSU are bad options, didn't mean to imply that
BarryZuckercornEsq
10:35
Campbell and Elon are both, like, fine, right? Not incredibly prestigious but if you want to work as an attorney in NC not bad or predatory
ClassyPleasantHeron
10:36
Dunno how you feel about student housing. Howard hasn't opened their application yet and they typically don't run out of space.
aziza
10:36
I wouldnt say predetory at all. NC jobs in itsself is a whirlwind. I want to go into big law, and the only clinic elon offers is the small business clinic
Mountaineer99
10:37
yeah they're fine. i'd compare them to mercer in GA. not predatory, you can get legal jobs from them.

FL's equivalent is Stetson

Mercer WL me.. And student living is a no for me. Ive had so many roomate problems and issues w student housing going to a MSI, Howard is literally knows for their student housing but in the worst way possible
CoastalDawg
10:38
@Mountaineer99: oh don't worry, I didn't take it that way at all. I just loved Georgia State when I visited and knew I wanted to go there, which is why I didn't reach. If I had started my applications earlier in the cycle I probably would have. Also would have taken the LSAT again I kinda screwed up on it
ClassyPleasantHeron
10:38
@aziza: Ah, that explains why Howard usually has student housing available.
aziza
10:40
bruh i just need them to accept me today. I had to argue my case with my partner last night about extending the time I wait for them to respond
Mountaineer99
10:42
@aziza: if you're biglaw or bust i wouln't go to Elon. I'd only go there if you'd be willing to work at small firms for a bit and maybe lateral up later.
aziza
10:44
Thats what im saying!!! Im like so concerned it isnt the right move for me. I hope that howard admissions works all day tbh, I feel like they should have gotten to my app by now. its UR2 atp
WhatItDoBayybeeee
10:44
wait howard has grad housing?
WhatItDoBayybeeee
10:46
also would you consider rnr
aziza
10:46
fuck no
aziza
10:47
i cant live w my family one more year
WhatItDoBayybeeee
10:48
lool fair, are you able to visit Howard maybe see if you can get to chat with someone in person
WhatItDoBayybeeee
10:48
i think even starting a email chain with a legit question could help your name stick out at this point in the game
WhatItDoBayybeeee
10:49
also my lol was to the fuck no i understand needing to get out from home
aziza
10:50
let me think of a question then. I just ont anna rub them the wrong way what so ever. Im def banking on them atp. Elon was attractive in the sense of its 2.5 yrs and i lived in gboro before (cheap). Im a muzzie so my mom dont fw me moving out before a ring is on the finger
