A quick definition of double criminality:

Double criminality is a rule in international law that says a person can only be extradited (sent to another country to stand trial) if the crime they are accused of is a crime in both the country where they are being held and the country that wants them to stand trial. This means that the crime must be illegal in both countries for the person to be extradited.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Double criminality is a requirement for extradition in international law. It means that a crime must be punishable in both the country where a suspect is being held and the country requesting the suspect to be handed over to stand trial.

Example: Let's say a person is accused of committing a crime in Country A and flees to Country B. Country A requests that the person be extradited to stand trial for the crime. However, if the crime is not considered illegal in Country B, then the person cannot be extradited due to the lack of double criminality.

Another example could be a person accused of drug trafficking in Country A, but drug trafficking is not considered a crime in Country B. In this case, the person cannot be extradited to Country A to stand trial for drug trafficking.

These examples illustrate how double criminality is a crucial requirement for extradition. It ensures that a person cannot be extradited for a crime that is not considered illegal in the country where they are currently located.

I cant believe im about to go 200k in debt for law school

ImpartialLion

9:15

I guess i dont have any other debt, but it’s killing me.

lawdeedahh

9:15

well did she accept you @jackfrost??

ImpartialLion

9:15

@lawdeedahh: congrats on getting into ur #1

Which school will you attend, Lion? Columbia seems to be a good option with the scholarship.

She told me my payment is increasing lol

Yeah, i heard they dont really negotiate Butlers but I’m hoping to squeeze a few bucks out of them with what I get from UVA and NYU. CLS seems to be where im heading though for sure

suddy

9:18

If you got HYS, would you take that?

ImpartialLion

9:18

Super happy with CLS though. Was a little nervous about their fed clerkship #s, but I recently learned they place 41 fed circuit clerks a year, which is only 4 less than UVA despite their conservative presence.

suddy

9:20

That isn't bad at all

lawdeedahh

9:21

sorry just saw but thank you @ImpartialLion!

You know, I thought about it. I think I may be heading for the HLS WL (could be wrong). I heard you put down the deposit at HLS before seeing your scholarship if you get off the WL and I don’t know if I’ll do it. I have a long term gf (6 years) and we’ve always planned on moving to nyc to start our careers. I’m originally from there so it would be cool to show her where I grew up as a kid. I don’t think i can give up that ease + possibly go 300k+ in debt

ImpartialLion

9:21

Sorry for the long message😂

suddy

No, that makes sense. I know Harvard is wholly based on "demonstrated financial need," so it could very much be up to chance

ImpartialLion

9:23

Yeah and I have a complicated financial situation. Independent college student w/ no parental support or contact. Dont know if they’d honor my independence like my current school does

suddy

9:24

They don't. I tried to get a fee waiver from Harvard and was denied on the basis of my parent's finances, despite being financially on my own for law school.

ImpartialLion

9:24

Would basically entail HLS giving me a full ride if they did given my finances. Might be what’s holding my app back at the need-based schools since it was the topic of my PS

how do you negotiate a scholarship?? like have a meeting with the financial aid department or what

lilypadfrog

9:33

You can just email them and tell them you’re asking for a reconsideration given other offers, need, etc.

ImpartialLion

9:34

Emails right? Do you send the other offer letters or just write the offers out?

This has some good info

You’re going to want a research a school’s reconsideration policies before you reach out because for some they will only reconsider one time or review one competitive offer
