aggravated sodomy

Read a random definition: Department of Homeland Security

A quick definition of aggravated sodomy:

Aggravated sodomy is a type of crime where someone forces another person to have oral or anal sex, or causes serious physical harm during the act. It can also be considered aggravated sodomy if the victim is a minor. This is a very serious crime that can cause a lot of emotional and mental distress for the victim.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Aggravated sodomy is a type of criminal sodomy that involves force or results in serious bodily injury to the victim in addition to mental injury and emotional distress. It is a more severe form of sodomy than regular sodomy.

Examples:

  • Forcing someone to engage in oral or anal sex against their will and causing them physical harm would be considered aggravated sodomy.
  • If a minor is involved in any type of sodomy, it may automatically be considered aggravated sodomy under some laws.

The examples illustrate that aggravated sodomy involves not only the act of sodomy itself but also the use of force or causing harm to the victim. It is a serious crime that can result in both physical and emotional trauma for the victim.

I think my issue with RC is that for LR if I misread that's one question. But if I misread the tone of an RC passage I'm screwed for a bunch of questions.
do you have a particularly hard time with one kind of passage, or is it more of an overall problem?
First, RC is something you been doing since grade 1, so unlike LR or LG, it is something you have been exposed to and you will have a natural affinity for it that will be hard to move beyond. Second, you need to just do more of them lol Know all the rules and question types etc. from a curriculum, one of the tried and true like PS or 7sage or what not, then you just drill. Of course that also means you need to review your answers in depth - you need to find where in your thought process you made an error so it doesnt happen again. It also helps to solidify right thought pathways. And not about content like "oh yeah i guess the blacks in 1870s latino communities were creole," but like "oh yes question asks for y and i said z so in the answer i mistook x for w being the right answer" lol aka structural approach. That is all i gots for free lol hire a tutor if you need more.
For LR, look at it as mathematical word problems with algebra.

Thanks @premiumfrequentcrane. Windy I think (oddly enough) I'm having the most trouble with liberal arts/arts based passages. So anything about the arts/ a writer or author/ music I mess up on even if the passage is super easy.
Usually happens when you apply too much opinion to the passage lol that is also why i said 0 to -2 is RC mastery as opposed to -0 as sometimes you may think that author's pov in the opera comparative passages is "facetious" and they were looking for "apathetic"

That's likely true.
Remember, all people who go to law school having to do LSAT prep is also about social engineering lol Like you should have some shared basis in how you think/talkk, hence "lawyer talk," but how do they choose which ones to release for everyone to do, from a content perspective? Is it a coincidence we get many climate change content questions? LOL So what i am getting at is that is sometimes VERY subjective lol So dont beat yourself up TOO bad on arts in RC, but obvs work on it.
How many t-14s are appropriate to apply to if i have a 170 lsat
this is for next cycle
everyone saying medians are gonna be crazy so idk what i should be aiming for. 3.9+ gpa if it matters
r/lsa makes me feel like im stupid for having a 170 lol
@RasheedWallaceFan: your gpa is above all medians, so apply broadly
Okay thank you for the input, the other thing im struggling with is just making a school list in general. I am insecure so im like do i have to apply to 5 low ranked schools just in case? I guess I am trying to figure out where the "safety" cutoff is and my list right now is 25 schools so idk if thats too much
@RasheedWallaceFan: 25 is on the high end, but you should apply to however many you feel comfortable with. imo, a safety is anywhere you are well above both medians. you can look at my school list for inspo if you'd like
you shouldn't apply to anywhere you wouldn't realistically go if it was your only offer
for sure, thank you a lot. Have fun at michigan that will be awesome!

i do them in between studying to keep sane
@RasheedWallaceFan: take your list and research the city, campus, tuition, bar passage, employment by sector, etc.!!! it might help you narrow down your school choices
also don't pay much attention to the people on reddit. there's genuinely good advice but there's a ton of people who are just energy vampires (average reddit user)
@NosyBeagle: that is so real

The real reason why lawyers are alchoholics... Because there is so much of a wait time between tests and scores.
