lex Anastasiana

A quick definition of lex Anastasiana:

Lex Anastasiana: A law in ancient Rome that said if a brother or sister was freed from slavery, they would still get an equal share of their family's inheritance. It also said that if someone bought a debt for less than what was owed, they couldn't make the debtor pay more than what was originally owed plus interest.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Lex Anastasiana is a law in Roman law that has two meanings:

  1. It is a law that says when a brother or sister is freed from slavery, they should receive an equal share of their parent's property when they die without a will.
  2. It is a law that says if someone buys a debt from the original creditor for less than its value, they cannot ask the debtor to pay more than the amount they paid plus interest.

Example 1: If a brother and sister were slaves and were freed, they would be entitled to an equal share of their parent's property when they die without a will. For example, if their parents had three children, and one of them was freed from slavery, the two remaining children and the freed child would each receive one-third of the property.

Example 2: If a person buys a debt from the original creditor for $500, but the debt is worth $1000, they cannot ask the debtor to pay more than $500 plus interest. For example, if the lawful interest is 10%, the person who bought the debt can only ask the debtor to pay $550.

These examples illustrate how the Lex Anastasiana law works in two different situations. The first example shows how the law protects the rights of emancipated siblings to receive an equal share of their parent's property. The second example shows how the law prevents people from making a profit by buying debts for less than their value and then asking debtors to pay more than they owe.

@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again

@Sex-Drive: we have entirely different living standards if you think 60k is "hardly anything to live off of:"
i make around that in a hcol area and feel like im balling out while saving over 20% of my income
@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo
(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)
15:07
transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol
15:08
i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to
15:09
i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done
