A quick definition of litteris obligatio:

Term: LITTERIS OBLIGATIO

Definition: Litteris obligatio is a legal term from Roman law that refers to an obligation that arises from a written contract or entries in account books. A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable obligations. It can refer to the series of actions taken by the parties, the physical document that records the agreement, or the legal relations that result from the agreement. In simple terms, a contract is a promise that the law recognizes and can enforce.

A more thorough explanation:

Litteris obligatio (pronounced lit-uh-ris ob-li-gey-shee-oh) is a term from Roman law that refers to an obligation that arises from written entries in account books or literal contracts.

When two or more parties enter into an agreement that creates enforceable obligations, it is called a contract. A contract can be in the form of a written document or an oral agreement. In the case of litteris obligatio, the obligation arises from written entries in account books or literal contracts.

For example, if a person borrows money from a lender and signs a written agreement to repay the loan with interest, it is a literal contract. If the lender keeps a record of the loan and the repayments in an account book, it becomes a litteris obligatio.

Another example could be a business that keeps track of its transactions with customers in an account book. If a customer owes the business money for goods or services, it becomes a litteris obligatio.

In summary, litteris obligatio is an obligation that arises from written entries in account books or literal contracts.

@RasheedWallaceFan: yeah for some reason SMU isnt listed on any of the rankings lists. Been that way all year
@NemoPropheta: you only got another 40+ years of it!
@PremiumFrequentCrane Is right.
You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

look at my lawyer dawg... im going to jail
Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.
For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.
@NosyBeagle: just makes me think of vanillamace

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far
16:58
late march is way too late
16:58
early doesn’t matter but before thanksgiving matters
ronniedoeslaw
16:59
Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.
I mean early early might be overblown but dont apply if you are applying in march
does anyone know how many questions they typically ask for the UT recorded interview
20:21
