A quick definition of inconvenience:

Term: INCONVENIENCE

Definition: Inconvenience means something that causes trouble or difficulty. The rule of inconvenience is a legal principle that says a court should not interpret a law in a way that will harm an important public interest or cause serious problems for anyone, unless there is no other choice. This rule helps ensure that laws are fair and do not cause unnecessary harm to people or society.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Inconvenience refers to something that causes trouble or difficulty. The rule of inconvenience is a principle of statutory interpretation that states that a court should not interpret a law in a way that will harm an important public interest or cause serious hardship for anyone, unless there is no other option.

For example, if a law requires all businesses to close by 6 pm, but a particular business needs to stay open later to serve its customers, the court may interpret the law in a way that allows the business to stay open. This is because forcing the business to close early would cause inconvenience to its customers and harm the public interest in having access to the business's services.

Another example could be a law that requires all vehicles to have a certain type of safety equipment. If a person cannot afford to install the equipment on their vehicle, the court may interpret the law in a way that allows the person to continue driving without the equipment. This is because forcing the person to install the equipment would cause a serious hardship for them.

@Ijustwannagetinman: it’s still possible but you lose leverage because you’ve already given them money so they assume you’re more attached to their school

SLS A was me. I was accepted last week but made an error when clicking the date. I fixed it.
20:11
Also at that point you won’t get much more too but they may try to make it binding. I’ve seen a few places (not GULC FTR) that give like a 5-10K increase but it is binding
20:11
Also congrats on Stanford!!!

I’m hoping to get off a waitlist and delusional wanna try to get money from that school if I get in lol
Thanks for the R sent to my home, Stanford.
Could have just sent me an email or a status checker update.

@CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick: did ur lawhub ever update
I don't have lawhub. In fairness to Stanford, it may be that my status checker for Stanford has already indicated that I was rejected. I haven't checked since I knew there was next to no chance I would get in. I just don't understand the need to send someone an R admissions decision to their home.

unhinged adcom behavior
I think it's just Stanford reminding you that they have money to waste and still didn't want you. So yeah, unhinged adcom behavior indeed.
@WasabiPirates: By the way, we have the same "goal." I also want to be a federal judge. Well, I would also be happy with one of certain state judgeships. May I ask what you're thinking your ideal career trajectory would be prior to, you hope, landing a federal judgeship? Like, do you want to be in private practice beforehand, government, both?
Anyone still waiting to hear back from NDLS
