legal right

Read a random definition: Ninth Amendment

A quick definition of legal right:

A legal right is something that a person is allowed to do or have because it is fair and just. It can be something that is guaranteed by the law, like the right to own property or the right to be free. It can also be a power or privilege that is protected by the law, like the right to vote or the right to speak freely. If someone violates your legal right, it is considered wrong and you can take legal action to make it right. Basically, a legal right is something that you are allowed to do or have because it is fair and the law says so.

A more thorough explanation:

A legal right is something that a person is entitled to by law, morality, or ethics. It can be a power, privilege, or immunity secured to a person by law. It can also be a legally enforceable claim that another person will do or will not do a given act. Violating someone's legal right is considered a wrong and can result in legal action.

Examples of legal rights include:

These examples illustrate how legal rights are guaranteed by law and can be enforced through legal action. For instance, if someone's right to free speech is violated, they can take legal action against the person who violated their right.

Tell us what's important to you
i also stress the importance of untimed blind reviewing practice tests and problems

I second Sean’s opinion

I love JYs logic, it’s similar to my internal logic. I can’t see how you would use 7sage if you didn’t mesh with his style though. You should certainly go with a different system if that’s the case

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: that's what i'll probably have to do. I don't think his style is really how i learn :/ which is annoying lol
Opossum
14:41
I thought he'd be best cause i really am a lecture and notes learning girly
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

He’s actually super heuristic. His teaching style is a lot of volume with focus on developing heuristics to narrow down the answer pool

i love when JY says 'are u fucking stupid??? why would it be this one'

...And then you lie to yourself "Yeah, that was totally not the answers I was thinking."
14:42
I didn’t like his explanations for LR/RC. Made it way harder than it was imo
14:42
LSAT is simple and he made it like a math equation
pug
14:43
yeah i will say i did not like the introduction of "formal" logic, if you can even call what he was doing that
Opossum
14:43
@HorseyMed: i can second that he made my RC worse at first
SeanStrickland2024
14:43
Yeah his LR is way too much
pug
14:43
and the diagramming was a little confusing - i suppose its helpful if you're a visual learner
14:43
It’s outdated. He uses older questions which use more formal logic but pt 70+ drifted way away from it and especially in the 80s
pug
14:43
but when hed do the whole "these in this bucket" and subset stuff i just got confused. once i stopped trying to use his methods exactly, it clicked for me

do we thin the nyu e wave survivors are destined for the waitlist
SeanStrickland2024
14:44
Nah they got more Rs fs
pug
14:44
his explanations were helpful for me insofar as understanding why the answer i picked was wrong. i was almost always caught 50/50 between two ACs, and would sometimes pick the incorrect one. and generally he does spend more time on the "almost correct" AC if that makes sense

I started at -2 for LR and only got to -1 after 4 months. But he got me from -7 to -1 on RC. I used powerscore Bible for logic games though

4/25 last year was a massive wl wave
Opossum
14:45
Everyone learns so differently its wild sometimes
eggbagel
14:45
a massive wl wave is imminent

Go by day of the week not by exact date, looks like they’re behind
TwinPeacock
14:46
They’re def ramping up!
also i strongly recommend taking lsat advice from people in any score range not just 165+ this would help you avoid survivorship bias and get input that could be more relevant to whatever needs you specifically have
Grab-The-Lantern
14:47
Noted.
14:49
I’d ask people who improved a lot
eggbagel
14:49
do schools make you withdraw from pending wl decisions or could you theoretically hop waitlists if you accepted one and then got a better offer
