Read a random definition: Ben Avon Doctrine

A quick definition of de lege ferenda:

DE LEGE FERENDA: A proposed principle that can be used in a situation where there is no existing law. It is different from de lege lata, which means existing law.

DE LEGER LATA: The principle that a court should decide based on actual law and not on how it thinks the law ought to be. It is different from de lege ferenda, which means a proposed principle that can be used in a situation where there is no existing law.

DELETERIOUS: Something that is poisonous or harmful to our health, either physically or mentally.

DE LIBERA FALDA: A writ that allows free feeding of sheep on land. It was used in the past as a form of quod permittat.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: De lege ferenda (dee lee-jee f-ren-d) is a Latin term that means "from law to be passed." It refers to a proposed principle that could be applied to a given situation instead or in the absence of a legal principle that is currently in force.

Example: Suppose a country does not have a law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation. A proposed principle that could be applied in this situation is de lege ferenda, which suggests that a law should be passed to prohibit such discrimination.

Explanation: The example illustrates how de lege ferenda can be used to propose a new legal principle that is not currently in force. In this case, the proposed principle is to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, which is not covered by existing laws in the country.

Definition: De lege lata (dee lee-jee lay-t) is a Latin term that means "from law passed." It refers to existing law or the principle that a court should decide based on actual law and not on how it thinks the law ought to be.

Example: If a person is charged with a crime, the court should decide the case based on the existing criminal law, which is de lege lata.

Explanation: The example illustrates how de lege lata refers to existing law and the principle that a court should decide based on actual law. In this case, the court should not make up a new law but should apply the existing criminal law to the case.

Definition: Deleterious (del-teer-ee-us) is an adjective that means poisonous or unwholesome, psychologically or physically harmful.

Example: Smoking is a deleterious habit that can cause lung cancer and other health problems.

Explanation: The example illustrates how deleterious can be used to describe something that is harmful to a person's health. In this case, smoking is a deleterious habit that can cause serious health problems.

Definition: De libera falda (dee lib-er-uh fal-duh) is a Latin term that means "of free fold." It refers to a writ allowing a free feeding, especially of sheep on land.

Example: In medieval England, a landowner could grant a de libera falda to a tenant, allowing them to graze their sheep on the land for free.

Explanation: The example illustrates how de libera falda was used in medieval England to allow a tenant to graze their sheep on a landowner's land for free. This was a form of quod permittat, which means "that he permit."

@llama: your cycle confuses me, your stats are good and you applied early but all of those Rs? Is there anything weird about your app?
do you have C&F issues or something?
also ur first choice is kansas but you didnt apply there?
12:55
@RasheedWallaceFan: Hi. Yes, I waited for April LSAT, put almost all apps (which were sent really early) so that basically most of my apps were reviewed In May. Shot myself in the foot for 155 -> 161 lmao. Would not recommend 10/10
12:57
@RasheedWallaceFan: unironically, KSLS was my top choice, however by April LSAT their app had closed. It was like waiting to date ur dream partner, but waiting until you graduate uni, then by the time u graduate uni, your soul mate is already married with 2.4 kids and 1.6 dogs. Heartbreak.exe fr fr

are you R&Ring?
13:00
No, I think what I will do is flip a coin: heds NKU, tails NEL|B what u guys think bout dat. Then once 1L - if good at LS, try to transfer, if bad at LS or one of my grandiose ideas/inventions are viable, drop out and pursue.
oh so you submitted the apps with a lower lsat and then retook
got it

Most schools will hold your application for the next test score to be released into your account as well. I was notified by an admissions director that if a decision is processed they will not retroactively go back for the new score even if higher

@Bettercaulsaul: in my experience, there is often an option on the application for you to choose whether you'd like them to review your application as-is ASAP or hold it until your new score is released. but it probably varies by school—I just remember seeing that option on at least a few app forms
2:21
While I am unsure of what option you are referring to, I personally just emailed each school and asked for them to hold my app pending my lsat score release.
