A quick definition of jus canonicum:

Term: Jus Canonicum

Definition: Jus Canonicum is a type of law that was created by the Western Church between the 12th and 14th centuries. It is a set of rules that govern the practices and beliefs of the Church. The law has grown over time and is now codified in the Codex Juris Canonici of 1983. Jus Canonicum is also known as Canon Law or Church Law. It has had a significant impact on the development of English law, as many judges in the early Middle Ages were ecclesiastics who were familiar with its doctrines. In England, Canon Law is concerned with regulating the affairs of the Church of England.

A more thorough explanation:

Jus canonicum is a Latin term that refers to the body of western ecclesiastical law known as canon law. This law was compiled from the 12th to 14th centuries and has grown steadily since then. It is now codified in the Codex Juris Canonici of 1983, which replaced the previous version from 1918.

Canon law is a body of law developed within a particular religious tradition, and it regulates the affairs of the Church. It has had a significant influence on the development of English law, as many judges in the royal courts during the early Middle Ages were ecclesiastics familiar with the chief doctrines of canon law.

For example, canon law has influenced the law of marriage and divorce in many countries. In the United States, for instance, canon law has been used to determine the validity of marriages in cases where one or both parties are Catholic.

Another example of the influence of canon law is in the regulation of religious societies. Canon law provides guidelines for the establishment and governance of religious orders, such as monasteries and convents.

In summary, jus canonicum refers to the body of western ecclesiastical law known as canon law, which regulates the affairs of the Church and has had a significant influence on the development of English law and the regulation of religious societies.

Do tell
i had to drop out of a grad program but i explained it in my gpa addendum bc it was the same underlying event causing both
i was also named in a civil lawsuit that got dismissed but only one school asked about it
sorry probably not helpful

idk what the situations are, but you absolutely should write about them if the school asks about them—the only time you should be asking *whether* to write one is when you're not sure whether your situation qualifies as what they're asking about
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
19:59
better question is usually *how* to write about them
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
20:00
I had to write about write

... write-ups at work (petty, and they were removed from my file after a year, but even so the app asked so I wrote)

Ah it cancelled out my msg cus I switched tabs. But I’ll just tell you guys cus I get mixed answers: a) accused of cheating on a calc exam freshman year but was cleared of wrongdoing, b) sent to the hospital senior year because I go too drunk

Seems like you'd need to write about A because it went through a formal process, but it shouldn't hurt you if you explain it straightforwardly and explain you were cleared (just don't be weirdly salty about it like you're holding a grudge)
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
20:12
Re B, did this involve school in any way? Is there an app that has a C&F question that you think this applies to?
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
20:13
Maybe you're not deep enough into the process to know this—each school has its own unique set of C&F questions, so you should disclose exactly what they ask about, no more, no less
NosyBeagle
20:14
OH

20:14
Ok why did I think it was just gonna be one type of q for all. My bad folks. Ignore my info dump
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
20:16
No worries! Frankly I think it's wild that applications have weird hidden quirks that you don't know about until you're actually logged into LSAC working through the app. There's some info you can find about the oddball/unique questions you'll find on specific apps, so you might want to look for that for schools you're going to apply to

Like on various consultants' blogs, reddit, etc

ima write my personal statement about being fired and how that made me want to do law but it would be funny if I also had to write an addendum about it

I wrote optional essays about a situation that affected my undergrad performance. For any school that required an "education gap addendum" I was basically like "pls see my optional essay"

did they accept that?

that reminds me of filling out job apps and they want you to type out your resume in a text box. like huh??? open the pdf, idiots
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
21:18
I mean I was nicer about it—I'd put a couple of sentences explaining it super lo-res, and then I said something like "I speak to this situation in detail in my optional essay."
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
21:20
They don't send your application back to you and tell you to redo an addendum if they don't like it, so the only way to know whether they "accepted" it, as it were, is admissions results
