ambiguitas latens

Read a random definition: pendentes fructus

A quick definition of ambiguitas latens:

Ambiguity means not being sure what something means or what someone intends. It can happen in contracts or laws when the words used are not clear. There are two types of ambiguity: patent ambiguity, which is when the words themselves are unclear, and latent ambiguity, which is when the words seem clear but something else makes their meaning uncertain. This can cause problems when trying to apply or execute the contract or law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ambiguitas latens refers to a type of ambiguity that does not appear in the language of a document but arises from a collateral matter when the document's terms are applied or executed. It is also known as latent ambiguity or extrinsic ambiguity.

Examples:

  • A contract states that a shipment will be delivered to the "Peerless," but there are two ships with that name. This creates a latent ambiguity because the document's terms are unclear when applied to the real-world situation.
  • A will leaves a bequest to "my cousin John," but the testator had two cousins named John. This creates a latent ambiguity because the document's terms are unclear when applied to the testator's family relationships.

These examples illustrate how latent ambiguity can arise from external factors that are not explicitly stated in the document. The ambiguity only becomes apparent when the document's terms are applied to the real-world situation, and it can create confusion or disputes between parties.

asian bullshit?? dude what
It is one strategy students should be aware of, not authoritative

@PremiumFrequentCrane: private schools love doing that. No scholarship is an automatic no
@NosyBeagle: you will see as you be in this space more and more that wrong answer journal is an asisan school of thought, originating in 7sage's lsat as an esl student package
@FrioJGenius: well they can dance with someone else
At least in the contemporary online lsat space, obvs writing wrong answer journal is applicable to many things and has been forever, as ONE strat

It’s obviously not the only strategy! I just think it’s helpful for a lot of people and at least worth a shot to see if it benefits you. I got a 99th percentile score and never used a wrong answer journal or blind reviewed but I’m kind of a lazy bum and it does provide value for a lot of people
11:15
One thing I personally did that I think helped me a lot was using the 7sage drill setting where you can pick only answers you’ve gotten wrong before and redo them. Then you can see if you’re getting them wrong the same way again, different way, or getting them right
11:16

11:16

11:19
Choked

@BruceSutter: eat shit and die

@esoterica: bruh we are agreeing lol i said no need to do wrong answer journal lol but you can easily and should do the equivalent when reviewing. "Why did i get this wrong what thought process etc" it is just a waste of time to type a wrong answer journal and probably related to ai training
@BruceSutter: gaslight someone else, hacker bitch.
