Read a random definition: assisa ultimae praesentationis

A quick definition of disenfranchisement:

Disenfranchisement is when someone is not allowed to vote in public elections. It can also mean taking away someone's right in an organization. It's like being kicked out or not being allowed to participate.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Disenfranchisement is the act of taking away someone's right to vote in public elections. It can also refer to the act of depriving a member of a corporation or organization of a right by expulsion.

Examples: In the United States, some states have passed laws that require voters to show specific forms of identification in order to vote. This can lead to disenfranchisement of certain groups of people who may not have access to the required identification. Another example of disenfranchisement is when a member of a club or organization is expelled and loses their right to participate in the group's activities.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how disenfranchisement can occur in different contexts. In the case of voter ID laws, certain groups of people, such as low-income individuals or minorities, may be disproportionately affected and lose their right to vote. In the case of organizational disenfranchisement, a member may lose their right to participate in decision-making or other activities within the group. Overall, disenfranchisement involves taking away someone's rights or privileges, often in a way that is unfair or discriminatory.

What's it take to get accepted at Harvard or Chicago like
I'm honestly gunning for a part time program at my managing partner's alma mater. It's not a high end school, but lmao to work full time and graduate *with* a job? Can't complain.

Ngl I was talking with my partners and the consensus is if you just wanna be a lawyer and work on cases any reputable school will be fine

My RC is very literally not improving. Once I get that up that LSAT exam is cooked.

i think at this point ima just take the best school that gives me a full ride, too much uncertainty with loans these days
AngryMiniCar
14:17
That's valid
Exactly. One of our attorneys is a Yale undergrad/Georgetown for JD and he said that tbh, schools only matter when you're going into biglaw or other niche practice areas. I just want to do litigation (and/or appellate work) so it's not like I need to graduate from Harvard - a local school would be just fine.

do yall think that getting a 180 is worse than getting like a 178 or 179
AngryMiniCar
14:32
I think if you get a 180 you might run into yield protection lol. Though I think you could just write some bomb why x essays to make up for it. But you can't make up for those 1 or 2 points
AngryMiniCar

But also if you're at a 178 or 179 the difference is negligible.
