converter

Read a random definition: capitis aestimatio

A quick definition of converter:

Converter: A converter is someone who takes something that doesn't belong to them and uses it or sells it without permission. This is wrong and against the law. Sometimes, a person may take something without knowing that it doesn't belong to them, but they still shouldn't keep it. This is called being an innocent converter. It's important to always ask permission before using or taking something that doesn't belong to you.

A more thorough explanation:

A converter is someone who takes someone else's property without permission and uses it or sells it. This is illegal and can result in the person who took the property being punished.

An innocent converter is someone who takes someone else's property without knowing that it was stolen or that they didn't have the right to take it. For example, if someone buys a bike from someone else without knowing that it was stolen, they are an innocent converter.

Example: John buys a bike from a stranger on the street. He doesn't know that the bike was stolen from someone else. John is an innocent converter because he didn't know that the bike was stolen.

Example: Sarah takes her friend's phone without asking and sells it to someone else. Sarah is a converter because she took someone else's property without permission and sold it. She is not an innocent converter because she knew that the phone belonged to her friend and didn't have permission to take it.

The examples illustrate the definition of a converter by showing how someone takes someone else's property without permission and uses it or sells it. The innocent converter example shows that someone can take property without knowing that it was stolen or that they didn't have the right to take it, but they can still be punished for it.

@RasheedWallaceFan: yeah for some reason SMU isnt listed on any of the rankings lists. Been that way all year
@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
