A quick definition of magna assisa eligenda:

Term: MAGNA ASSISA ELIGENDA

Definition: Magna assisa eligenda was a legal order given to a sheriff to summon four knights to give oaths before the justices of assize and then choose twelve more knights to form a grand assize. The grand assize was responsible for determining who had the right in a writ of right, which was a legal document used to claim ownership of land or property.

A more thorough explanation:

magna assisa eligenda (pronounced mag-nuh uh-sahy-zuh el-i-jen-duh) is a legal term in Latin that means "of choosing the grand assize." In history, it referred to a writ that ordered a sheriff to summon four knights to give oaths before the justices of assize. These knights would then choose 12 more knights to form a grand assize, which would determine who had the right in a writ of right.

An example of magna assisa eligenda would be a case where two people were claiming ownership of a piece of land. The writ of right would be issued, and the sheriff would be ordered to summon four knights. These knights would swear an oath before the justices of assize and then choose 12 more knights to form the grand assize. The grand assize would then hear the case and determine who had the rightful claim to the land.

Another example would be a case where two people were claiming the right to a title or position. The writ of right would be issued, and the process of summoning the knights and forming the grand assize would be followed to determine who had the rightful claim.

These examples illustrate how magna assisa eligenda was used in medieval times to settle disputes over land, titles, and positions of power.

@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
14:32

@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.

What did they even post?
probably calling me an anti-hispanic slur
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

I saw someone got a full-ride in exchange for deferring. I didn't even know that was a thing? Has it happened to anyone else?

@GatorNation: I don't know that school all that well. But it's ranked really low and usually rankings don't matter much if you're just trying to practice. But I'd be careful and look on reddit. Cause some of these schools can be highkey predatory.

Like some schools have a conditional scholarship that they take away from you at the drop of a hat and no faculty support in 1L so a lot of people get fucked. I know someone who got screwed by Western New England. Not saying that it is just that I wouldn't think of making it my go-to without digging into it.
