A quick definition of bill:

A bill is a written statement that someone owes money to another person or company. It can also be a proposal for a new law that is discussed and debated before it becomes official. In court, a bill is a formal claim against someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

A bill is a formal or public document that declares a claim against someone else. It can be used in different contexts:

An equitable bill is a legal document that presents a claim in a court of equity. It is similar to a declaration in law. For example, if someone believes that they have been wronged by another person, they can file an equitable bill to seek justice.

An invoice bill is a statement that shows how much money one person owes to another. For example, if you buy something from a store, they will give you an invoice bill that shows the price of the item and any additional charges.

A legislative bill is a proposal that is presented for debate before it becomes a law. For example, a member of Congress can introduce a bill that proposes a new law or changes to an existing law. The bill will be discussed and voted on before it becomes a law.

Examples:

  • John filed an equitable bill against his neighbor for cutting down his trees without permission.
  • The company sent an invoice bill to their customer for the products they purchased.
  • The senator introduced a legislative bill that would increase funding for education.

These examples illustrate how a bill can be used in different situations to make a claim or propose a new law. Whether it is a legal dispute, a business transaction, or a political issue, a bill is a formal way to communicate a message and seek a resolution.

@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again
14:32

@Sex-Drive: we have entirely different living standards if you think 60k is "hardly anything to live off of:"
i make around that in a hcol area and feel like im balling out while saving over 20% of my income
@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

probably calling me an anti-hispanic slur
if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo
(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)
15:07
transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol
15:08
i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to
15:09
i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done
