Session
The act of sitting, or the state of being seated.
The actual sitting of a court, council, legislature, etc., or the actual assembly of the members of such a body, for the transaction of business.
Hence, also, the time, period, or term during which a court, council, legislature, etc., meets daily for business; or, the space of time between the first meeting and the prorogation or adjournment; thus, a session of Parliaments is opened with a speech from the throne, and closed by prorogation. The session of a judicial court is called a term.

Session Quotations
This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
Will Rogers
If I studied all my life, I couldn't think up half the number of funny things passed in one session of congress.
Will Rogers
After tea it's back to painting - a large poplar at dusk with a gathering storm. From time to time instead of this evening painting session I go bowling in one of the neighbouring villages, but not very often.
Gustav Klimt
Sometimes I miss out the morning's painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open.
Gustav Klimt
By that point, I had started taking singing lessons. And after the first session, I mean, I was surprised that the windows didn't shatter. And after the third session, I really didn't know where this voice had come from.
Gerard Butler
In the past, I tried to be more of a typical session guitarist. I wasn't so concerned with impressing anybody.
Brad Paisley
But when you work with the director and the real person who is playing opposite you, it changes everything. You are almost in a working session. I was very comfortable, and that's maybe what helped me to get the part.
Olivier Martinez
Our relations with the other powers of Europe have experienced no essential change since the last session.
James Monroe
A musician can get lost to what he is in the session busines as it was.
Jim Sullivan
You know, to preserve our job-friendly climate the Texas legislature didn't raise taxes this last legislative session while balancing their budget and maintaining their reserves - and might I add that our budget leaves $6 billion dollars in a rainy day fund?
Rick Perry
