A quick definition of cozening:

Term: Cozening

Definition: Cozening is a bad thing people do when they cheat or trick others in a sneaky way. It's like when someone promises to do something but doesn't really mean it, or when they lie to get what they want. It's not a nice thing to do and it's against the rules. Sometimes it's also called cosening or stellionatus.

A more thorough explanation:

Cozening (pronounced kuh-zuh-ning) is a dishonest practice that involves cheating or fraudulent dealing. It is also known as cosening. In the past, it was an offense that was not specifically named, but it was considered a serious offense.

According to John Cowell's book, The Interpreter, cozening is a type of deceitful practice that can occur in or out of contracts. It is a form of fraud that cannot be fitly termed by any special name. In the civil law, it is called stellionatus.

Examples of cozening include:

  • A salesman who lies about the quality of a product to make a sale
  • A contractor who overcharges for a job and does not complete the work as promised
  • A person who forges a signature on a contract to make it seem like someone agreed to something they did not

These examples illustrate how cozening involves dishonesty and deception. It is a deliberate attempt to cheat or defraud someone for personal gain.

I personally loved LSAT Demon but I did not get a 180. I find a lot of people with higher scores 175+ advocate 7Sage while the 165-175 range is LSAT Demon. However I have seen several 175+ people come out of LSAT Demon. I like LSAT Demon because I used them and listen to their YouTube videos and they have a simple website but everyone should also consider 7Sage.

Fuck just got an A from a school I withdrew from. Lmfao. I feel bad for em.
LSAT Demon is more comprehensive I would say. And the interface is a lot easier for people who don't really have that much time. It's also more fun I think haha. Feels more like a game
Also anybody have any idea whether or not UMich will look at score updates? I think I might retake the LSAT to see if I can get a higher score to get off the waitlist :') In my head it's definitely that LSAT score

@HomelessCuteImpala: it certainly can't hurt! If they don't look at it directly, you can always reference it in a LOCI
