derivative title

Read a random definition: AAA

A quick definition of derivative title:

Derivative title means a title that comes from another title. For example, if you buy a house from someone who bought it from someone else, your title is derivative because it comes from the previous owner's title.

Immunity means protection from something. In law, it usually means protection from being sued or prosecuted. There are different types of immunity, such as absolute immunity, which means complete protection, and qualified immunity, which means protection as long as certain conditions are met. Some people or organizations, like government officials or foreign diplomats, have immunity because of their position or status.

A more thorough explanation:

Derivative title refers to a title that is obtained through a transfer of ownership from the original owner. For example, if John sells his car to Jane, Jane now has derivative title to the car. This means that Jane's ownership of the car is derived from John's ownership.

Derivative-use immunity is a type of immunity granted to a witness in a criminal case. It means that the witness cannot be prosecuted based on any information they provide in their testimony. For example, if a witness is granted derivative-use immunity and testifies that they saw John commit a crime, they cannot be prosecuted for any involvement in that crime based on their testimony.

Immunity is a legal protection that exempts a person or entity from certain duties, liabilities, or services. There are many types of immunity, including:

  • Absolute immunity: complete exemption from civil liability, usually afforded to officials while performing particularly important functions
  • Qualified immunity: immunity from civil liability for a public official who is performing a discretionary function, as long as the conduct does not violate clearly established constitutional or statutory rights
  • Transactional immunity: immunity from prosecution for any event or transaction described in the compelled testimony
  • Use immunity: immunity from the use of the compelled testimony (or any information derived from that testimony) in a future prosecution against the witness

These examples illustrate how immunity can protect individuals from legal consequences in certain situations.

Baylor status date disappeared, does that mean anything?

email from lawhub says "One of the law schools you applied to has updated your application status." But I don't notice any changes when I log in. Anyone have experience with that?
llama

@AromaticTroubledDormouse: yes, go the the specific app and it should be either marked with a dot or incomplete. many times for me it was the instructions

@RustyWrangler: apparently the date change means they've made a decision?

So I usually try to stay out of reading tea leaves regarding status checkers & the like for my own sake but this one has always piqued my interest bc apparently it's just 1 date change and then they give you your decision

when y'all say lawhub, you're just talking about lsac, right? ._.

Basically. You can check your application status through lawhub, which is sort of a dashboard that a lot of schools (Penn, Georgetown, etc.) use instead of their own application status tracker. https://app.lawhub.org/

I got a 173, am I getting into WashU with their new medians? 173 -50th 176 - 75th
llama
18:26
@couldvescoredhigher: very likely.
couldvescoredhigher
18:28
@llama: appreciate it. It seems like as long as their 50th% doesn't go up next year I'll be fine
llama
18:28
did you redact your gpa?
1a2b3c4d26z
18:31
Wait so does anyone have any info on this re UMich date change? Decision soon?
couldvescoredhigher
18:32
Yea I applied redacted gpa, with 5 years WE
couldvescoredhigher
18:32
But I know they're hyper focused on numbers
llama
18:33
@couldvescoredhigher: nice yeah I cant see you not getting an A.
llama
18:34
UMich- I be there is some movement this week. A few things point to a wave

18:35
@llama: any guess on what the odds are that their 50th LSAT goes up? And then all of us 173s are fucked cause they want 174s
llama
18:36
@couldvescoredhigher: so their '23 & '22 deltas for LSAT: 25pth: -2
llama
18:37
median: +1 and 75pth: +1. I bet their median and 75pth increases one pt.
couldvescoredhigher
18:38
Jeez, so I might be out of luck if that trend continues. RIP
couldvescoredhigher
18:39
Their 50th stayed the same this year, so maybe they've maxed out on the potential to keep that moving up. Only Harvard and Yale above them now
llama
18:41
@couldvescoredhigher: If I had to guess they will try to increase their 75pth.

I cannot wait to see the 2024 509reports.
couldvescoredhigher
18:44
