anticipation

Read a random definition: cura animarum

A quick definition of anticipation:

Anticipation: Doing something before you are supposed to do it. This can be a problem if someone else has already done it or if it is not yet time to do it. For example, if you want to get a patent for your invention, but someone else has already made or talked about the same invention before you apply for the patent, you might not be able to get the patent. In another example, if you try to get money that you will earn in the future before you actually earn it, that is called anticipation.

A more thorough explanation:

Anticipation is when someone performs an act or obligation before it is legally required. This term is used in different legal contexts:

In patent law, anticipation means that someone else has already invented or disclosed the same thing that the patent applicant is trying to patent. This can happen if the inventor has published or sold their invention before applying for a patent. If this is the case, the patent applicant will not be able to get a patent.

For example, if John invents a new type of phone and starts selling it before he applies for a patent, he cannot get a patent for that invention because he has already disclosed it to the public.

In conveyance, anticipation means that someone is dealing with income before it becomes due. This can happen if someone assigns or charges their income to someone else before they receive it.

For example, if Sarah knows that she will receive $1000 in two weeks, she cannot assign that money to her friend before she actually receives it. If she does, she is anticipating the income.

These examples illustrate how anticipation means doing something before it is legally allowed or required. In both cases, the person who anticipates something will not be able to get what they want because they did not follow the legal requirements.

90% of your attorneys went to Kent, but what perfect of Kent graduates are working at your firm (or making good money, or if not, getting their loans paid off by Kent)? the latter is, I'd argue, what matters more
i'm sorry i don't quite understand what you mean
16:09
if 90% of attorneys somewhere went to kent but you employ 10 attorneys, thats only 9 attorneys out of a possible 100+ class size at kent

100%, that's why I think the sub is untethered to reality. but/and I was aiming for tippy top schools, and I think it's not wild to have that goal if you have reasons :)

many people have different ideas of what a good outcome would be and have even more different ideas of what amount of work they would like to put to get there

Reddit in particular is so myopic about outcomes, there are large portions of the country where making 80k still gives you a comfortable life, and ~80k is often cited as the low end of the bimodal distribution of private attorney salaries
not saying reaching for a t-14 is a wild thing to do!!!! man i would go to nyu. i'm simply stating what esoterica said, people that act like not being at a t-14 means your life is over is simply not correct. but i think anyone outside of reddit would understand that.
fujos after stubbing their toe: YAOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
