"Was in session" is a phrase commonly used to describe a meeting, assembly, or gathering that took place at a specific location during a specific period of time.
When an organization, such as a court, congress, school board, or parliament, is "in session," it means that its members or participants have officially convened to conduct business, engage in deliberations, or engage in formal proceedings. During this time, the organization is actively conducting its regular activities, such as voting, presenting and discussing proposals, making decisions, or hearing arguments and testimonies.
The phrase typically denotes the formal period when a particular entity or body is actively functioning and operational. It implies that the proceedings or activities associated with the organization are ongoing and currently in progress. The duration of being "in session" can vary greatly depending on the organization and its specific rules or regulations, ranging from a few hours to several weeks or months.
Being "in session" indicates that the organization's members or representatives are present, prepared, and ready to engage in the designated activities or tasks. It implies that the organization has established quorum, allowing for official business to be conducted and decisions to be made. Outside of the specified session period, the organization is typically considered to be adjourned or on a recess until the next scheduled session begins.
