A quick definition of legal owner:

A legal owner is someone who is recognized as the rightful owner of something, like a house or a car. It can also refer to someone who holds the legal title to something on behalf of someone else. For example, a trustee may be the legal owner of a property that is held in trust for the benefit of another person.

A more thorough explanation:

A legal owner is someone who has the recognized legal right to own a property. This means that they have the legal title to the property and can exercise their rights over it. Sometimes, a legal owner may hold the title to a property for someone else's benefit.

  • Trustee: A trustee is a legal owner of a property who holds the title for the benefit of another person or entity. For example, a trustee may hold the title to a property for the benefit of a trust beneficiary.
  • Record Owner: A record owner is a legal owner of a property whose name appears on the official records of the property. For example, the record owner of a house is the person whose name appears on the deed.

These examples illustrate how a legal owner may hold the title to a property for someone else's benefit. In the case of a trustee, they hold the title for the benefit of a trust beneficiary. In the case of a record owner, they hold the title to the property but may not necessarily be the beneficial owner.

Does anyone who has ADHD and took the LSAT have tips how to remember RC? I keep finding it goes in one ear and out the other because I get bored while prepping
Might be because it's not the actual test, I usually test really well because of the adrenaline

@ScandalousSeriousBaboon: i have adhd but i bombed rc, but others with adhd can still do well. it really depends on the person and how their adhd symptoms impact their life

@ScandalousSeriousBaboon: strengths are weaknesses! That’s what I tell my students! Try to use your adhd like a superpower if you can! Filter out the bullshit parts of RC you don’t need!
You can get extended time if you have ADHD or anxiety, etc. it’s super easy you just need a doctor to write a few sentences
15:58
@CloisteredDisgustingCheese: i had accommodations, and even then i gave up on rc. plus, they arent always easy to get. i had to prove i wasnt taking adhd meds before i got it approved
@Ijustwannagetinman: can you pm me what your experience was like? mine is tomorrow and im freaking out lol
I've never had an "official" diagnosis, but 100% have it. Might be worth it to attempt to get extra time, especially on RC... would make a good essay to write about living with undiagnosed ADHD and still doing well in school (other than shite HS grades)
@ararara: Ty for the words of wisdom!
@menherachan: Ty for the kind words
Am I reading this right when I see that schools are still waitlisting students for this current cycle?? I am taking the June lsat so I have been checking in from time to time. Am I reading this right??
Like, ASU (my dream school), waitlisted 3 out of their last 4 applications
Is it not a terrible year to apply with the June Lsat?

it’s always a terrible year to apply with a june lsat, but if your score jumps a lot then that’s good, although at that point you might want to wait til next cycle so you can get even better options
If I got pulled off the waitlist at UCI (probably with no scholarship), would it be dumb to go there over USD with 30k a year?

maybe? you’d need to run the numbers and check specific outcomes/connections for your goal. put yes it’d probably be dumb
22:40
@ScandalousSeriousBaboon: Tbqh, writing an essay about doing well in school is likely a bad idea
22:43
1. Schools can see you did well, they get your transcript 2. unless the story tells readers something besides "but I'm smart and/or a hard worker, so I did well despite ADHD" this is a missed opportunity to share something more interesting
22:44
(3. Mentioning anything mental health or neurological is dicey, a lot of schools view that as a risk)
I agree
In my interview they asked me about the most humbling experience. I had one that was health related but did not use it.
is anyone active rn
anyone here still haven't heard from USC
@ScandalousSeriousBaboon: i think an essay topic on your adhd could be good, but i am biased in your favor since i wrote my ps on being audhd lol
@NaughtyTeenyWeenyPebble: I am active what's up
i think you should do it. if the adcomms is ableist enough to deny you admission from their preconceived notions about neurodivergence, it would probably be a shitty environment to study in anyway
I mean implicit bias is still a real thing.
it is, but i still think its better to mention it than not. if admissions can't be as impartial as they can, imagine how the rest of the faculty can be
i cant speak on what a's i could have gotten since my lsat is low for t14 standards, but i'm happy with my cycle
