A quick definition of in simili materia:

Term: IN SIMILI MATERIA

Definition: In simili materia means that something is related to the same or similar subject matter.

For example, if two legal cases involve similar issues, they can be said to be in simili materia. This term is often used in legal contexts to describe cases or laws that are related to each other.

A more thorough explanation:

IN SIMILI MATERIA

in simili materia (in sim-ə-lI mə-teer-ee-ə), adv. & adj.
[Law Latin] Of the same or a similar subject matter.

In simili materia is a Latin term used in law to describe a situation where two legal cases or issues are similar or related to each other. It means that the subject matter of the cases is the same or similar.

For example, if a court is deciding a case about a car accident, and another case comes up that is also about a car accident, the court might say that the two cases are in simili materia. This means that the subject matter of both cases is the same or similar, and the court can use the decision from the first case to help decide the second case.

Another example could be if a lawyer is arguing a case about a breach of contract, and they want to use a previous case as a precedent. If the previous case is about a similar type of contract, the lawyer might argue that the two cases are in simili materia, and the court should follow the decision from the previous case.

These examples illustrate how the term in simili materia is used in law to describe cases or issues that are related to each other because they have the same or similar subject matter.

@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again

@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo

SpecialCrowdedElemental

15:04

(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)

c0bra1

15:07

transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol

c0bra1

15:08

i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to

i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done

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.

Ok thank you!

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