serious health condition

Read a random definition: cool blood

A quick definition of serious health condition:

A serious health condition is when someone is very sick or hurt and needs to stay in the hospital, can't work for more than three days, or needs ongoing treatment from a doctor. It can also include being pregnant or having a long-term illness that makes it hard to do everyday things. If someone needs to take care of a family member with a serious health condition, they may be able to take time off work under the Family and Medical Leave Act.

A more thorough explanation:

Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), a serious health condition is an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition that:

  • Requires inpatient care
  • Causes incapacity for more than three full days with continuing treatment by a health care provider
  • Causes incapacity due to pregnancy or prenatal care
  • Requires incapacity due to, or treatment for, a chronic serious health condition
  • Causes permanent or long-term incapacity for a condition for which treatment may not be effective, such as a terminal illness
  • Requires absence for multiple treatments for either restorative surgery following an injury or accident, or a condition that would require an absence of more than three days if not treated

For example, a serious health condition could be:

  • A heart attack that requires hospitalization
  • A broken leg that requires ongoing treatment and causes incapacity for more than three days
  • A complicated pregnancy that causes incapacity
  • Cancer that requires ongoing treatment and causes incapacity
  • A terminal illness that causes permanent incapacity
  • Multiple surgeries for a serious injury or condition

These examples illustrate how a serious health condition can be a wide range of medical issues that require significant treatment and/or cause incapacity for an extended period of time.

@RasheedWallaceFan: yeah for some reason SMU isnt listed on any of the rankings lists. Been that way all year
@NemoPropheta: you only got another 40+ years of it!
@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
16:58
late march is way too late
16:58
early doesn’t matter but before thanksgiving matters
ronniedoeslaw
16:59
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
