JUDICUM SORTITIO

Judicum sortitio is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to the practice of selecting jurors by drawing their names from an urn containing the names of eligible participants. The English word "sortition" comes from this Latin term and means "the drawing or casting of lots."

During the Roman times, judicum sortitio was used to select jurors for trials. The names of eligible participants were written on pieces of paper and placed in an urn. A person would then draw the names from the urn until the required number of jurors was reached.

Today, sortition is still used in some countries to select members of a jury or to allocate political positions. For example, in Australia, sortition is used to select members of the Citizens' Jury, a group of citizens who are tasked with making recommendations on public policy issues.

The examples provided illustrate how sortition is still used today in some countries to select members of a jury or to allocate political positions. This method ensures that the selection process is random and unbiased, which is important for ensuring a fair and just outcome.

I'm hoping so, especially with such a large 1L class
I've never been a study group guy in my whole life. Seems like that's the default in law school, though. Idk it's more than a year away for me so I shouldn't even be thinking about this sort of minutia, but like I wonder if study groups are actually tangibly helpful in law school? I bet that majorly depends on who is in your study group, but then they form at the beginning of the year before anybody knows eachother, and momentum just keeps them going even if they aren't great
Nah, the cliques start forming at asd
First round draft picks
Then later ones are lower draft picks

I haven’t been much of a group study person either in my educational career. If you’re living on campus it won’t be too bad ; I think it mainly becomes an issue for those who live off campus or commute far
