A quick definition of oneris ferendi:

Term: ONERIS FERENDI

Definition: Oneris ferendi is a Latin term used in Roman law that means "bearing a weight or burden." It refers to the responsibility of carrying a heavy load or obligation. For example, servitus oneris ferendi refers to the burden of maintaining a shared wall between two properties. The principle of jus oneris ferendi means that the person who benefits from a particular right or privilege also has the responsibility of bearing the associated burden. The phrase paries oneri ferendo, uti nunc est, ita sit means that the wall should continue to bear the same weight as it currently does.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Oneris ferendi (on-uh-ris fuh-ren-dee) is a Latin term used in Roman law that refers to the act of bearing a weight or burden.

For example, servitus oneris ferendi refers to the legal right to have a burden or weight placed on someone else's property. This could include the right to have a fence or wall built on someone else's land, or the right to have a pipeline or power line run through someone else's property.

Another example is jus oneris ferendi, which refers to the legal right to bear a burden or weight. This could include the right to carry a heavy load or to be responsible for a particular task or duty.

Paries oneri ferendo, uti nunc est, ita sit is a Latin phrase that means "let the wall bear the burden as it is now." This phrase is often used in construction contracts to indicate that the builder is responsible for any weight or burden placed on the wall during construction.

These examples illustrate the concept of oneris ferendi, which is the legal idea of bearing a weight or burden. Whether it is the right to place a burden on someone else's property or the responsibility to bear a particular burden, oneris ferendi is an important concept in Roman law.

@Silver: if you want to practice in IL then there’s likely no better school than the in state schools
@SpectacularDefiantMouse: yeah, like condemnedpuffygnome, I'm not really preparing for law school by taking some courses or anything like that. The only way I'm going to be preparing is by getting myself into a rhythm schedule-wise, well enough in advance of the first day of classes, that I think will be necessary for me to do well 1L.
I'm very much not in rhythm now. lol. But I've 3-ish months.

@Silver: Cost of attendance is what matters. $37K in-state tuition = $47K sticker price with a $10K scholarship elsewhere, $70K sticker with a $40K scholarship is better than either, $40K sticker with a $0 scholarship worse than both.

Congrats on Harvard, jb2028. Any reason you applied to A&M but not Texas at Austin? Seems odd.

@BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool: Family connection, they gave me a CAS waiver so it was free
Question for the chat about judicial internships (not externships). My understanding is that judicial internships (as opposed to externships) during the summer are unpaid. How, then, do people who get them pay living expenses during the summer? Do they just make loans stretch for 12 months when they're only meant for 9? I heard that some people supplement the internship with, e.g., a research assistant position with a law professor. But would such a person both do the internship and the RA position at the same time? And if so, is that too much work or feasible?
I don't know what the workload is really like for judicial internships and RA positions.
Also curious what other things people might do to supplement an unpaid judicial internship over the summer with something paid.
20:20
@BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool: Many schools will provide some type of stipend for unpaid summer roles with a public interest employer (defined broadly, often includes any gov or judicial job)
Right, I thought so. At BU, though, it appears that what's called BU's public interest project grant is not available to supplement judicial internships. And I think its public service summer funding is also limited. Oh well.
21:13
@BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool: FWIW they allude to some type of funding ("BU Law has implemented separate funding sources for judicial interns") in this packet https://www.bu.edu/law/files/2023/11/Public-Service-Summer-Funding-Applicant-Packet-2024.pdf
21:13
Although they don't give details, and as you note they don't guarantee funding to everyone (which is in line with other $ they offer, e.g. the LRAP)
21:14
Anyone know how hard it is to do pro bono work as a 1L for judges or fed gov in general in the D.C. market
21:14
Idk much about pro bono opportunities period but thinking I wanna try to get some work experience as soon as humanly possible

When I begin law school I mean

Lines up with BU's limited endowment: $81K per student a few years ago, i.e., enough to support a payout of about $3,250 per student per year at a 4% payout rate https://leiterlawschool.typepad.com/leiter/2022/05/per-student-value-of-law-school-endowments-2021.html
21:17
Seems like they're trying to compete with other schools on program headlines (we fund X, Y, and Z and we have an LRAP) but the endowment can't really support that, so they have all these programs but don't guarantee funding. Would not rely on that if you have alternatives.
Thanks for those links. I'll give the public service summer funding information packet, in particular, a careful read. But yeah, your takeaway seems right.
