A quick definition of interpretatio:

Interpretatio: A term used in Roman law to describe the opinion of a legal expert (called a jurist) who was not a lawyer or advocate in court. These opinions were not originally binding, but later became so under the Law of Citations in 426 AD. The opinions of five jurists were given binding force.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: Interpretatio
Definition: Interpretatio is a term used in Roman law to describe the opinion of a legal expert who interprets the law, but does not argue in court. These experts are called jurists. Their opinions were not originally binding, but in A.D. 426, the Law of Citations made the opinions of five jurists legally binding. This means that their opinions had to be followed by judges in court. Example: If a judge is unsure about how to interpret a law, they might seek the opinion of a jurist. The jurist would provide an interpretatio, or an opinion on how the law should be interpreted. This opinion would then be considered legally binding and the judge would have to follow it. Example: The Law of Citations made the opinions of five jurists legally binding. This means that if all five jurists provided the same interpretatio on a particular law, judges would have to follow it, even if they disagreed with it. In summary, interpretatio is the opinion of a legal expert who interprets the law, and the Law of Citations made the opinions of five jurists legally binding.

Hey just wondering how to filter data by international Gpa? Can't seem to find this filter option

There’s no intuitive way to do this. The only way I can find is by going to each individual school, scrolling to the part that shows you all applicants for that year, and clicking on the GPA button until it filters them for the blank ones first. I’ve found by clicking on profiles that the ones with an LSAT listed and no GPA are almost universally international
