A quick definition of Solemnization of marriage:

Solemnization of marriage: This means that a couple must have a formal marriage ceremony, and there are certain people who are allowed to perform this ceremony depending on the laws of the state. For example, in some states, a mayor, judge, or city clerk can perform the ceremony, while in others, a notary public can do it.

A more thorough explanation:

Solemnization of marriage

Solemnization of marriage refers to the formal requirement of performing a marriage ceremony by a professional who is authorized by the state. The person who can perform the ceremony varies depending on the laws of the state. For example, in some states, a mayor, magistrate, county clerk, city clerk, judge, or justice can perform the solemnization. In other states, a notary public can perform the solemnization.

Example 1: In California, a marriage can be solemnized by a priest, minister, rabbi, or authorized person of any religious denomination who is 18 years or older. Additionally, a judge or retired judge, commissioner of civil marriages, or assistant commissioner of civil marriages can solemnize a marriage.

Example 2: In Texas, a marriage can be solemnized by a licensed or ordained Christian minister or priest, a Jewish rabbi, or a person who is an officer of a religious organization and who is authorized by the organization to conduct a marriage ceremony.

The examples illustrate how the laws regarding who can perform the solemnization of marriage vary from state to state. In California, the authorized persons include religious leaders and civil officials, while in Texas, only religious leaders or officers of religious organizations can perform the ceremony. The solemnization of marriage is an important legal requirement that ensures that the marriage is recognized by the state and that the couple is legally married.

i know its hard to know because I haven't taken LSAT yet, but Im going to graduate with a 3.4. Idk if id write an addendum for my gpa because i just slacked off for a lot of college unfortunately. Plan is to start studying for lsat in October, and then take a gap year to get WE. T14 isn't even on my radar, but from people who know and understand the admission process better probably, am i cooked at even getting into a T50. I know lsat score is huge but reading people get rejected while having 3.8+ is anxiety inducing
23:25
@Sagamore: you can do applicant search to get closer results but there are plenty of ppl with a 3.3-3
23:25
3.4 that got into t50s-t20s (sorry i pressed send early)
23:26
i would just focus on maximizing ur lsat score
we always talk about fo pm but never about fo am

Don’t know if I’m about to make things worse but hang in there! If you’re stressed out get to your nearest trampoline and start jumping! It’s better than therapy! Hopefully you’re under some stars!
