Mercēs (mər-seez) is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to:

  1. An agreed payment for a specific thing or service that has been contracted for, such as rent or hire. The payment must be certain and usually consists of a series of periodical payments. For example, if someone rents a house, they must pay a certain amount of money every month as rent.

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.

Ok thank you!
10:35
check the 509 report, should show bar passage rate, employment data, and percent of students that retained their scholarship after 1L
