A quick definition of carucage:

Term: CARUCAGE

Definition: Carucage was a tax that was imposed on either the amount of land that could be plowed by a team of oxen in a year or on the number of plows used on the land. It was a tax that was used in the past.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Carucage (kar-uh-kij) is a historical tax that was imposed on either the plows used on the land or on a carucate (an area of land that could be plowed by one plow team in a year).

Example: In medieval England, carucage was a common tax that was levied on landowners. For example, if a landowner had five plows working on their land, they would have to pay a carucage tax for each plow.

Explanation: This example illustrates how carucage was a tax on the plows used on the land. The more plows a landowner had, the more tax they would have to pay. This tax was used to fund various projects, such as building roads or supporting the king's military campaigns.

Example: Another example of carucage is the tax that was imposed on a carucate of land. For instance, if a landowner had a carucate of land that could be plowed by one plow team in a year, they would have to pay a carucage tax for that land.

Explanation: This example shows how carucage was also a tax on the amount of land that could be plowed by one plow team in a year. The tax was based on the productivity of the land, and landowners had to pay it regardless of whether they actually used a plow on the land or not.

it seems so simple; how hard could they make it to spend $300k for a piece of paper. Law schools be like: hold my beer bro!

“hello! I am willing to go hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt for a piece of paper! please let me do so!”
soapy
23:06
“Pay me $125 bucks first. Not good enough. Next.”
23:07
ok step right up, it will take 1 year + a few thousand $$ to begin the 3 year process to teach you to say; 'it depends" THEN you can spend 6 months studying for the test to maybe get a job.
soapy
23:08
Don’t forget, you’ll need to shell out $5000 in prep materials and a few thousand for the test itself. Then you have a shot at a job, good luck!
23:08
but on the plus side- we are headed towards hyper inflation so in 5 years $300k may be so little amount of money the whole process may be a great deal, maybe.

Ah, but we’re also experiencing the death of on campus interviews. So if you aren’t already close to a Biglaw partner, good luck getting enough money to pay back the debt thanks to the bimodal salary.
23:11
@soapy: also true
23:15
on the bright side: 1. avg age of a lawyer is 46 yrs old, many JDs do not stay in the profession, turnover is high and you get a chance to spend 3 years figuring out the rules of life so you may be in a position to be a weapon in business. overall, possibly worth it?
soapy
23:17
certainly worthwhile. The job I want requires a law degree, and I really can’t see myself doing anything other than law long term.
23:17
wat u wanna do soap

The long-term pipe dream would be to be a labor arbitrator. That’s far in the future, however, and I would like to do labor/employment law cases as an attorney

I think some schools don’t specify when an app is under review, they just say forwarded and leave it at that until a decision is made

of course! asu for example doesn’t specify, I think
yeah i'm talking about asu so that makes sense lol
because last cycle they had me under review within 2 days so i'm like what is taking so long but it's just that they didn't name it as under review
