A quick definition of capitis deminutio:

Capitis deminutio is a term from Roman law that refers to a change in a person's legal status. It means that a person's legal personality is destroyed and replaced with a new one. This can happen in three ways: by losing freedom (capitis deminutio maxima), by losing citizenship (capitis deminutio media), or by being separated from their family (capitis deminutio minima). Capitis deminutio can also refer to the smallest reduction of status, which involves a change of family but not citizenship or freedom.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Capitis deminutio is a term used in Roman law to describe a reduction or alteration of a person's legal status. It refers to the destruction of a person's legal personality and the creation of a new one in its place.

There are three types of capitis deminutio:

  • Capitis deminutio maxima: This is the most severe form of capitis deminutio, which occurs when a person is reduced to slavery.
  • Capitis deminutio media: This occurs when a person loses their citizenship but retains their freedom. For example, banishment for life to an island or other restricted area had this effect.
  • Capitis deminutio minima: This involves a change of family, while both citizenship and freedom are retained.

For example, if a person was enslaved, they would experience capitis deminutio maxima. This would result in a complete loss of their legal personality and the creation of a new one as a slave. Similarly, if a person was banished for life to an island, they would experience capitis deminutio media, which would result in a loss of citizenship but not freedom.

@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

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
