durational-residency requirement

Read a random definition: Norris–La Guardia Act

A quick definition of durational-residency requirement:

A durational-residency requirement is when someone has to live in a certain place for a certain amount of time before they can do something, like vote. This has been found to be unfair because it can stop people from being able to exercise their right to vote and travel freely.

A more thorough explanation:

A durational-residency requirement is a rule that requires a person to be a resident of a particular state for a specific period before they can exercise a particular right or privilege. For example, some states require that a person must live in the state for at least one year before they can receive in-state tuition rates at a public university.

However, when this requirement is applied to voting, it has been found to be unconstitutional. This is because it places an unfair burden on a person's right to vote and their fundamental right to travel.

For instance, if a state requires that a person must live in the state for two years before they can vote in a state election, this would be considered unconstitutional. This is because it would prevent people who have recently moved to the state from being able to vote, even though they may have a legitimate interest in the outcome of the election.

Overall, durational-residency requirements can be used to restrict certain rights and privileges, but they must be carefully evaluated to ensure that they do not violate a person's constitutional rights.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
@RasheedWallaceFan: your gpa is above all medians, so apply broadly
Okay thank you for the input, the other thing im struggling with is just making a school list in general. I am insecure so im like do i have to apply to 5 low ranked schools just in case? I guess I am trying to figure out where the "safety" cutoff is and my list right now is 25 schools so idk if thats too much
@RasheedWallaceFan: 25 is on the high end, but you should apply to however many you feel comfortable with. imo, a safety is anywhere you are well above both medians. you can look at my school list for inspo if you'd like
you shouldn't apply to anywhere you wouldn't realistically go if it was your only offer
for sure, thank you a lot. Have fun at michigan that will be awesome!

i do them in between studying to keep sane
@RasheedWallaceFan: take your list and research the city, campus, tuition, bar passage, employment by sector, etc.!!! it might help you narrow down your school choices
also don't pay much attention to the people on reddit. there's genuinely good advice but there's a ton of people who are just energy vampires (average reddit user)

The real reason why lawyers are alchoholics... Because there is so much of a wait time between tests and scores.

Are the 7sage app requirements as far as essays go accurate? I would love to spend my summer preparing my applications but I dont want to waste time writing essays that wont be there. Is there a way to know what will be on the apps, or when those apps will be available to view? Or should I just focus on my PS and DS for now?
@RasheedWallaceFan: they were accurate for me, but school requirements change year to year and there's no way for anyone to know for sure
