drawee

Read a random definition: summum jus

A quick definition of drawee:

A drawee is the person or organization that has been told to pay a certain amount of money to someone else. Usually, the drawee is a bank. When someone writes a check, they are telling their bank (the drawee) to pay the person they are giving the check to (the payee). It's important to remember that the drawee is not the same as the person or organization writing the check, but rather the bank where the money is being taken from.

A more thorough explanation:

Drawee is the party that has been ordered by the drawer to pay a certain sum of money to the person presenting the check (the payee). Usually, the drawee is the bank.

For example, if John writes a check to Jane for $100, John is the drawer, Jane is the payee, and the bank where John has an account is the drawee. The bank is responsible for paying Jane the $100 when she presents the check.

In Weston v. FedEx Office & Print Servs., the court held that a drawee means the bank on which the check is drawn. This means that the drawee is the bank where the money being disbursed to the employee is held and not the employer who happens to be a bank. Similarly, in Al Sarena Mines v. SouthTrust Bank, the court held that although drawee is not defined in the commercial code of Alabama, the drawee is the bank where the account on which the check is drawn is maintained.

I saw someone got a full-ride in exchange for deferring. I didn't even know that was a thing? Has it happened to anyone else?

@GatorNation: I don't know that school all that well. But it's ranked really low and usually rankings don't matter much if you're just trying to practice. But I'd be careful and look on reddit. Cause some of these schools can be highkey predatory.

Like some schools have a conditional scholarship that they take away from you at the drop of a hat and no faculty support in 1L so a lot of people get fucked. I know someone who got screwed by Western New England. Not saying that it is just that I wouldn't think of making it my go-to without digging into it.

check the 509 report, should show bar passage rate, employment data, and percent of students that retained their scholarship after 1L
