excusable homicide

Read a random definition: zero-coupon security

A quick definition of excusable homicide:

Excusable Homicide: When someone kills another person, but it is considered excusable because they had a good reason for doing so. This could include self-defense or protecting someone else from harm. It is not considered a crime because the person had a valid excuse for their actions.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Excusable homicide is a legal term that refers to a killing that is not considered a crime because the person who committed it had a valid excuse or justification for their actions.

For example, if someone kills another person in self-defense, it may be considered excusable homicide because they were protecting themselves from harm. Similarly, if a doctor administers a lethal dose of medication to a terminally ill patient who has requested it, this may also be considered excusable homicide because it was done with the patient's consent and to relieve their suffering.

These examples illustrate the definition of excusable homicide because in both cases, the person who committed the killing had a valid reason or excuse for their actions. In self-defense, the person was protecting themselves from harm, and in the case of euthanasia, the doctor was relieving the patient's suffering.

I have not, but I trust Mike/ them, I think they have a unique perspective (ex adcoms) and I think, based on their free info/analysis, they are a great group and could provide some value to most applicants.

what do you guys think of retaking the LSAT in August after depositing at a law school starting in late august? I'm thinking if I get like a 179, I might reapply to law school

is it really bad to enroll at a school and then drop out because you think you'd have a better shot at a higher ranked school the next cycle?

I'd be very careful with timing. If you're able to "drop out" prior to the start of classes, that's one thing, but it seems that admissions offices look very unkindly on applicants who "started" law school and left (absent very compelling circumstances, such as serious personal illness)

honestly if you arent feeling it then leave before you pay tuition or before classes start

"if you put in the work, we guarantee a 170+" get out of my head
right!

waiting for June LSAT scores, prolly won't get off the waitlist for this cycle and will likely have to apply to law school for Fall 26'. The fuck do I do for the next year
try and not be so negative steel, you never know! this cycle seems to be a rollercoaster...that being said, a lot can be done for a year, maybe work on your softs more, specially your resume; these T14 love to see that.
I applied back in 2023 and got rejected from all the schools I applied. Granted, I was deployed across the world and understand that i did not prepare as much I should have...hopully these few years that have passed will help.

I took the lsat in 2023, got a bad score and decided that i need to do way more studying so im hoping to kick this test's ass in august. i've been improving alot. still drilling my weakest areas and will take a pt soon

tbh im not looking for a miracle. a 160 would be nice
10:17
U right. Def need to stay productive. I've been at this random job for 3 years but was thinking about taking a side gig for something more law related. It's tough getting a paralegal job but is there a way to get involved in pro bono work that helps give you relevant experience?
NosyBeagle
10:21
not impossible but difficult imo. I'd take a look at the law firms in ur area and shoot them some emails. maybe look at linkedin too. sometimes law type jobs r like ur not a lawyer? kys
10:26
That's how I feel lol. awkward spot between law school and undergrad. I will pray and help you manifest a 160 gng
