dispute

Read a random definition: Computer Software Protection Act of 1984

A quick definition of dispute:

Dispute: A disagreement or argument between people that can lead to a legal process like a trial or mediation. When people dispute, they are arguing or disagreeing with each other.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dispute is both a verb and a noun. A dispute is a disagreement, argument, or controversy that often leads to a legal proceeding, such as arbitration, mediation, or a lawsuit. The opposing parties are said to be adverse to one another. To dispute is the corresponding verb, which means to participate in a dispute or to make a particular argument in a dispute.

Noun: The two neighbors had a dispute over the property line, which led to a lawsuit.

Verb: The company disputed the claims made by the customer and provided evidence to support their position.

These examples illustrate how a dispute can lead to a legal proceeding and how parties can make arguments to support their position.

I’ve def said this before
16:21

Let me tell you about how I had five fractures in my back bunny. Got those fractures missing the mat high jumping.
[] baddestbunny
16:40
My three guesses for why you were high jumping onto a mat are a) track and field b) army training c) gymnastics
[] baddestbunny
16:40
are any of these correct?
[] baddestbunny
16:41
Also much more impressive than this guy’s back injury which came from being a 18-wheeler driver for many years
16:46
Oh yeah, track and field. Man that sucks for that guy.
Trying to decide if I should waste the money applying to like, duke/va/nw/tx/ucla even though I doubt I would attend
16:53
Why would you not attend?
I'm already gainfully employed in NYC and wouldn't want to relocate for a lower ranked program w/ worse chances of a big law outcome
16:56
Ehh well I wouldn't apply then unless they had some sort of niche program you really liked.
yeah, just worried if i set my sights too high i'll be disappointed across the board like i was last year
16:57
It's kinda like buying an insurance policy incase you don't get into any NY schools but I don't see why you would not.
yeah, same, but i see people with all these UVA A's and I'm like, I could've lobbed that up in september too
17:01
Ahh well, idk, all I can say is good luck!
