A quick definition of ac etiam:

Term: ac etiam

Definition: Ac etiam is a Latin phrase used in common-law pleading. It means "and also." In common-law cases, a fictitious claim had to be alleged to give the court jurisdiction. Ac etiam directed the court to the real cause of action. It introduced a genuine claim in a pleading. The officers of the king's bench used a clause of ac etiam to add a bill of debt to the usual complaint of trespass to remedy this inconvenience. The complaint of trespass gave cognizance to the court, and that of debt authorized the arrest.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: ac etiam
Definition: In common-law pleading, ac etiam means "and also." It was used to introduce a genuine claim in a case where a fictitious claim had to be alleged to give the court jurisdiction. This phrase directed the court to the real cause of action. For example, if someone was suing for trespassing, but also had a debt owed to them by the defendant, they would use ac etiam to add the debt claim to their case. This ensured that the court had jurisdiction over both claims and could make a ruling on them.

@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

LSAT isn’t horrible you just have to lock in really hard for 2 hours and expect to be exhausted the rest of the day mentally

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

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
