A quick definition of levir:

Term: LEVIR

Definition: A levir is a person who is either a husband's brother or a wife's brother-in-law according to Roman law.

Simply put, a levir is a family member who is related to you through marriage. If you are a woman, your husband's brother is your levir. If you are a man, your wife's brother is your levir.

A more thorough explanation:

LEVIR

A levir is a term used in Roman law to refer to either a husband's brother or a wife's brother-in-law.

1. After John's death, his wife Mary was expected to marry his levir, which was John's brother.

2. When Sarah got married, she gained a levir, which was her husband's brother.

The first example illustrates the first definition of levir, which is a husband's brother. In Roman law, it was customary for a widow to marry her deceased husband's brother to ensure that the family line continued. The second example illustrates the second definition of levir, which is a wife's brother-in-law. When a woman gets married, she gains a new family, including her husband's siblings, who become her levirs.

You remind me of a friend of mine from back in the day. They came in at the top of their class at a T14 but reapplied before doing this to get HYS. They still didn't get it the second time with perfect stats. That stuff is competitive and what does it matter anyway? Just saying!

Haha didn't realize you were admitted at Cornell not why I'm saying this haha. I've also seen a few people get H and one person get Y the second time around. Hopefully things just work out now but if it doesn't go your way the second time don't worry ✌️ you 🫵 are amazing! For the record though my housemate's friend who graduated from Cornell has an appellate clerkship.

I know a guy who got an appellate clerkship out of a regional t100. He’s old now but still
