A quick definition of persona standi in judicio:

Persona standi in judicio: This is a fancy Latin term that means the right to go to court. It's like having a ticket to see a movie. Only people who have this ticket can go to court and ask for help. For example, if someone hurts you, you need to have persona standi to go to court and ask for justice. Some people, like kids or companies, may not have this ticket and need someone else to help them go to court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Persona standi in judicio (pronounced puh-r-soh-nuh stan-dee in joo-dish-ee-oh) is a Latin term used in law that refers to the capacity of standing in judgment or the right to appear in court. It also refers to a person who has the personal standing to vindicate a legal right.

Example 1: A person who has been declared an outlaw by the court loses their persona standi in judicio. This means they no longer have the right to appear in court or defend themselves in legal proceedings.

Example 2: A pupil cannot pursue or defend themselves in court. Instead, their tutor must do it on their behalf. This is because the pupil does not have the legal capacity or persona standi in judicio to do so.

Explanation: These examples illustrate how persona standi in judicio refers to a person's legal capacity to appear in court and defend themselves or pursue legal action. It also shows how certain individuals, such as outlaws or pupils, may not have the persona standi in judicio to do so and require someone else to act on their behalf.

When I tell you my RC gets worse everytime I do it I'm dead serious

seventensplit

14:57

What's your issue with RC? I'm not guru or anything, but I'm pretty good at the LSAT

AngryMiniCar

14:58

I wish I knew. I thought at first I just wasn't understanding the passage. But then I got a pretty good grasp of it. I just keep choosing the trap answer for no good reason. Although Ig that means I'm not really understanding it.

How many full timed PT's have you done, and how many RC passages have you ran timed drills on? IMO that is like the most important thing. I think raw input with feedback is like the most efficient way to learn.

seventensplit

14:59

Just have to make sure you don't burn all of the PT's before your test. I was running out of newer material to study

late to the convo but THANK YOU for saying most "successful" personal statements that schools share are super f'ing mid writing from people who have wildly impressive WE or life experience

AngryMiniCar

14:59

Quite a few. The range is kinda crazy. I think I started off with -3/-5 and now the most recent one I got -14 which is insane...

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

even Yale's, I barfed reading some of them

badhorrormovie

i would say stay away from PTs and drill drill drill -- start by ignoring the time and focus on the content. also, wrong answer journaling helped me a ton!!!

seventensplit

15:00

Yeah like every single time, it's fine writing. Nothing creative, not very impressive, but it's just like "I cured cancer while living in a concentration camp and also I raised my siblings after my parents died of aids. Then I went to med school but I want to sue the government of Mozambique so I need law school."

AngryMiniCar

15:01

For RC too? I think it helped a lot with LR but idrk what's wrong with RC so it feels like I'm just writing "pay attention to wording" over and over and over again

ugh my ps is trauma dump & run on sentences

My RC strat: Read faster than normal, but not skimming. If at any point you didn't comprehend something, re-read it right then and there. Read the first question, go to the text that it is asking about and double check yourself. Try for 8 minutes per section.

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

15:04

been a minute, but for me I tried not to have to go back to the text to check - I actually read slower than normal, did some rough note-taking/outlining (which was mostly to help me retain content, not to actually refer to when answering Qs)

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

15:04

and 100% agree to ignore time until you're consistent untimed!

badhorrormovie

15:06

wrong answer for rc for me is like this (https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/v7w3ay/wrong_answer_guide_for_rc/ ) plus i kinda add a summary of what i read (main point, author's pov if any, inference)

seventensplit

15:07

Yeah, I mean you gotta find what works for you. I found any type of notation to be a huge waste of time personally. I do want to push back on not timing yourself. The test itself is timed. You are training for the test. Less time per section = more sections per study session = more input = more tuning for your neural engine. You are training your "gut feel" answering mechanism, not your slow methodical analytic engine

badhorrormovie

15:09

true everyone is different -- but i personally found mastering the content before training for time to be helpful. you can learn timing when you grasp the concept. or at least that's what i found hehehehe <3

hm, to me it's like anything else - if you can't do it slowly, you can't do it fast. I agree that the goal is to start to have an immediate sense of what the right answer is, but the way to get there is to understand the underlying mechanics of a passage and its questions. to me it was similar to music (I'm a former classical musician)--you don't learn to sightread by sightreading a bunch. you learn to sightread by becoming intimately familiar with everything you might encounter in a new piece of music and practicing those bits so much, and in such minute detail, that they become second nature

seventensplit

15:11

Yeah, true. I think basically all LSAT advice needs the caveat of, "but you need to find what works for you". Also I just might not be the best person to give advice. My LSAT journey was probably far from typical as I diagnosed pretty high
