A double gibbet is a type of gallows that has two arms extending from the top, making it look like a capital "T". It is used to execute criminals by hanging or to display their bodies after death as a warning to others who might commit crimes.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A double gibbet is a type of gallows used for executing criminals or suspending their bodies after death as a warning to others. It consists of a post with two arms extending from the top, resembling a capital "T".

One example of a double gibbet can be found in the Tower of London, where it was used to hang two Scottish lords, the Earl of Bothwell and the Earl of Huntly, in 1594. Their bodies were left hanging for several years as a warning to other potential rebels.

Another example is the double gibbet used in the execution of the notorious highwayman, Dick Turpin, in 1739. His body was left hanging on the gibbet for over a year as a deterrent to other criminals.

These examples illustrate how the double gibbet was used as a form of punishment and public display of justice in the past. The sight of the bodies left hanging on the gibbet was meant to deter others from committing similar crimes.

@PremiumFrequentCrane Is right.
You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

look at my lawyer dawg... im going to jail
Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.
For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.
@NosyBeagle: just makes me think of vanillamace

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far
16:58
late march is way too late
16:58
early doesn’t matter but before thanksgiving matters

Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.
I mean early early might be overblown but dont apply if you are applying in march
