Integrated Legal Dictionary

Lawyers and judges love to use big words. And Latin, for some reason.

Highlight a legal term in LSD Briefs and get an instant, plain English definition. Try highlighting contract or specific performance. No need to search or read through a list of definitions, simply highlight the words you don’t know and our LSDefine integration will instantly give you a definition to any of over 30,000 legal terms.

DeepDive

DeepDive allows you to explore legal cases like never before. DeepDive offers multiple levels of case summaries, which empowers you to quickly and easily find the information you need to stay on top of readings. Easily navigate through summary levels and click on any text to get more detail, all the way down to the original legal case text.

Brief anything. Instantly.

Our proprietary state-of-the-art system can instantly brief over 6,000,000 US cases. That means we can probably brief that case that your professor assigned last night when she sent you a poorly scanned pdf and told you to read every third paragraph. Or maybe she uploaded it to Canvas and didn’t really tell you to read it, but you know you probably should. Tenure does wild things to good people.

Social Learning with Chat and High Points

Study groups are a great way to learn and explore a case. LSD has chat rooms for each case to let you ask questions across the community and hear what other students struggled with and how they put it all together. Learn the key points of every case from other LSD+ users and share your knowledge with LSD High Points.

Real-Time Brief Feedback

Don’t settle for mistakes in briefs that have been there for 10 years and never fixed. Find an issue or something missing from a brief? Down vote and we will make improvements. All of our case brief editors graduated from from T14 law schools.

I sent a soft LOCI in the form of an email with my initial WL, and then an official one when I got the feeler email last week. But because of that email I rushed editing it down and now feel like I left out important details like the point regarding aid etc
WilliamNot
20:13
once you do the aid thing, there's really nothing more they can get from you, but I do think knowing they don't even have to pay you is big
WilliamNot
20:13
you're all good, if you just say what you said you would, and say "after consideration, i'd go for no dollars" I think that'd be good
WilliamNot
20:14
show youre thinking about it and would drop everything. maybe wouldn't even say you can wait, put the onus on them to risk losing your money too lol
TruthTheX
20:14
… do you think it is worth emailing them over or would that be a bad look considering I JUST submitted a LOCI
TruthTheX
20:14
Like I sent my LOCI on the 23rd
TruthTheX

I just know everyone says to not be overbearing and kinda annoying and don’t want to come across too desperate. Idk where the balance is so, just as an aside I appreciate your insight btw ty
WilliamNot
20:18
hey no prob this process was so awful I like to help. I heard the same advice but i'm not sure if overbearing would count 3 total emails. Because once you send this one, there's really nothing left to say other than like once a month "hey still want to." Overbearing is probably more constant emails and calls. If I remember correctly, their deposit deadline hasn't passed yet? I waited until the day after their deadline (could prob do day of) just to be right on top of mind when they know some people aren't going now and I can just take their spot
TruthTheX
20:23
I think tomorrow (or technically tonight at like midnight so it’s top of the inbox) what I’ll do is email them saying, “hey, I know the initial deposit deadline was yesterday and I am sure your office is busy preparing to review waitlisted applicants so I apologize for not saying this in my prior correspondence. In my previous letter I was so excited to talk about all the things I look forward to potentially taking part in that I wanted to make sure my position is fully clarified. Regardless of aid, I would withdraw from all other institutions and agree to a binding deposit should I be fortunate enough to receive an offer of admission. Thanks” basically? Sorry I just kinda need reassurance it’s been keeping me up at night haha
TruthTheX
20:27
Cuz in my LOCI last week all I really said regarding that was "Should I receive an offer of admission from your esteemed institution, I would without question accept immediately." I spent most of my LOCI discussing what I was excited about and a substantial work update

Thank you manifest I appreciate the support
WilliamNot

hey you're all good last year my brain basically broke. I would skip the acknowledgment of the deadline and apologies. i'd basically just start at "Regardless of aid..." you can say more if you want, but really that's what they're looking for. They just lost people to other schools and are looking to fill those spots
WilliamNot
20:31
you know what i'll see if i can find what my email said lol
trees1234567
20:31
you could probably leave the sentence before regardless of aid as your starting sentence
trees1234567
20:32
but would agree with William that the rest is fluff they don't really care for
TruthTheX
20:32
And, and I'm sorry to be beating a dead horse, does anyone think it's "too soon" to be following up?
trees1234567
20:32
better to be clear and direct than leave them guessing
WilliamNot

"I'd like to start by thanking you again for both the interview and spot on the waitlist. After some consideration I have decided that Georgetown is my top pick and I would commit to attending if admitted regardless of possible scholarship. In particular, no other school I am interested in has what Georgetown has with Curriculum B. I like history and I minored in philosophy, plus I feel that context is an important and often lacking aspect of legal education, so this curriculum sounds fantastic. GULC is also unique in class size, and I believe that more students means a higher chance of high quality connections than any other school. Add in the numerous clinics and programs I mentioned in my "Interest in Georgetown" essay, and there is truly nowhere I would rather be. Thank you for your consideration."

that was the whole thing, and was my second LOCI, a third LOCI a week later really will be ok
WilliamNot
20:33
and i received the A exactly 7 days after that email
TruthTheX
20:35
And it doesn't seem desperate or unprofessional to email them? My brother is screaming at me that it is a bad idea
WilliamNot
20:37
Nope it's what you do. I wouldn't email them again after this, but that's more because you have nothing to add. there's 3 tiers of LOCI 1: I won't get off the WL 2: I'd go if you said yes 3: I'd go rn no matter what for no money
WilliamNot
20:38
youve gotten to tier 2, getting to tier 3 in their files is a notable and valuable step. It will be noticed and viewed positively, exclusively positively. 7sage and any other advising website will agree
TruthTheX
20:38
Makes sense. So then I no longer need to ask my supervisor for the LoR I would just follow up in a month or so like, "hello I am still interested and I have moved. Here is my new address" and then again in August I guess like "hello still interested"
