A quick definition of legal description:

A legal description is a detailed explanation of a piece of land that includes any parts that have special rules, like easements or reservations. It helps people find and identify a specific piece of land. The description can be made in different ways, like using a government survey or lot numbers from a recorded map. It's important to have a legal description when buying or selling land.

A more thorough explanation:

A legal description is a detailed and formal description of a piece of real property that is complete enough to identify and locate it. It includes any parts of the property that are subject to an easement or reservation. The description can be made by referring to a government survey, metes and bounds, or lot numbers of a recorded plat.

For example, a legal description of a property might include its exact boundaries, such as "beginning at a point on the north side of Main Street, 100 feet west of Elm Street, and running thence north 200 feet."

This type of description is important in real estate transactions and legal disputes because it ensures that everyone involved understands exactly which piece of property is being referred to.

I wonder if the logic games removal makes the LSAT easier or harder. Many people I’ve spoken to said that was their favorite section

@NosyBeagle: you can use something like this: https://www.talkwithfrida.com/adult-adhd-diagnosis/ and now you magically have adhd! And can get double time! All for about $300 lmfao aka you buy a 300k scholarship and a job with an extra 100k+ per year for $300. Many do this. They compete for spots, not to be the most deserving.

i think i could've conquered logic games if i gave myself more time to study. but i don't miss it tbh

NosyBeagle

$300? bruh

This is why i say everyone should get the double time test. No more accommodations, completely level playing field, aka equality of opportunity. Logic games are the funnest to study but LR is exactly the same on being able to EXPECT -0. And yes, $300 or less depending where you live! And lsac will allow that to get double time, only 3 sections, unlimited stop/start in the sessions, and 15 minute breaks lmfao you can also get it on paper!

@PremiumFrequentCrane: yeah double time is excessive since a significant part of being a lawyer is meeting deadlines, like if they gave an extra 5-10 minutes, whatever, but 1h10m to answer 25 MC questions is overkill

@FrioJGenius: good thing our top schools who feed into the top roles and most important places disagree! They say "give me the kid who scores 155 l;egit and 172 with double time, they are better than the 167 legit no double time"

windyMagician

There’s been about a 30% increase nation wide in law school apps this school, I believe this may just favor larger institutions & I’m curious to see if schools begin to take in larger class sizes to compensate

FrioJGenius

12:06

@ronniedoeslaw: only if employers are willing to hire more lawyers, which seems doubtful. Schools dont want unemployed grads

windyMagician

12:12

class sizes appear to be staying the same

NemoPropheta

@ronniedoeslaw: upset the score was lower than my PTs

ronniedoeslaw

13:49

@NemoPropheta: don’t get down on yourself, that’s a dream score for many. The fact you’re scoring high on your PTs is a good sign. Do something today to relax and take your mind off of it. Probably subliminally showing how stressed you are about it, which is okay bc same
