protest

Read a random definition: interference with contract

A quick definition of protest:

A protest is when people publicly express their disagreement with something, like a law or policy. They might hold signs or march in the streets to show their feelings. Sometimes, protests are part of a bigger plan to peacefully change things. People can also protest their property tax rate or an import duty they don't agree with. In commercial transactions, paying "under protest" means the buyer doesn't think the demand for payment is fair, but they pay anyway. A protest can also be a legal way to cancel or defeat a land entry.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition:

  • Verb: To complain publicly about an act or declare something firmly and emphatically in response to an accusation or doubt.
  • Noun: A public demonstration expressing dissent towards an act or policy of a governing body, aimed at influencing public opinion and/or government policy.

Protests are often a form of civil resistance or nonviolent resistance, used as part of a larger systematic and peaceful nonviolent campaign aimed at achieving a specific objective through pressure and persuasion. For example, a protest against sending troops overseas or the use of the death penalty.

Other examples of protest include:

  • A legal procedure by which a taxpayer disputes their property tax rate, assessed evaluation of property for tax purposes, or an import duty.
  • A written demand for payment of an amount owed on a promissory note or a check that was refused by a bank.
  • A document drawn by the master of a ship, stating the circumstances under which damage has happened to the ship or its cargo.
  • An express reservation or notice used in commercial transactions to protect oneself against the effects of any admission that might be implied from their act.
  • A certificate of dishonor made under the hand and seal of a United States consul, vice consul, notary public, or other person authorized to certify dishonor by the law of the place where dishonor occurs in commercial paper transactions.
  • A proceeding to cancel or defeat an entry of public lands.

For example, a protest against property tax rates may involve a taxpayer disputing the assessed evaluation of their property for tax purposes. A protest against an import duty may involve a distinct and clear specification of each substantive ground of objection to the payment of the duty. A protest against a check that was refused by a bank may involve a written demand for payment of the amount owed. These examples illustrate how protests can be used to challenge and dispute various legal and financial issues.

needing accomdations for tests isn't cheating tho. you just need extra help because your brain isn't typical of most test takers
It is when they dont need them lmfao then they go "oh no i do need them i just didnt know i had adhd until 24 and took hundreds of tests my whole life without, but the tutor said just do it" lmfao no one says people who really need it shouldnt get it, but the thing is 80%+ are people who just go "i need lsat to get into the school i want and getting double time moves me from 167 to 177 and that is worth a 300k scholarship and a job making 260k at grad instead of 80k"

I wonder if the logic games removal makes the LSAT easier or harder. Many people I’ve spoken to said that was their favorite section
@NosyBeagle: you can use something like this: https://www.talkwithfrida.com/adult-adhd-diagnosis/ and now you magically have adhd! And can get double time! All for about $300 lmfao aka you buy a 300k scholarship and a job with an extra 100k+ per year for $300. Many do this. They compete for spots, not to be the most deserving.

i think i could've conquered logic games if i gave myself more time to study. but i don't miss it tbh
NosyBeagle
11:48
$300? bruh
This is why i say everyone should get the double time test. No more accommodations, completely level playing field, aka equality of opportunity. Logic games are the funnest to study but LR is exactly the same on being able to EXPECT -0. And yes, $300 or less depending where you live! And lsac will allow that to get double time, only 3 sections, unlimited stop/start in the sessions, and 15 minute breaks lmfao you can also get it on paper!
11:56
@PremiumFrequentCrane: yeah double time is excessive since a significant part of being a lawyer is meeting deadlines, like if they gave an extra 5-10 minutes, whatever, but 1h10m to answer 25 MC questions is overkill
girl i don’t have accommodations
11:59
i do :3

time and a half

all i sent them was my 504 plan from high school nthey said bet
12:00
unmedicated tho
@FrioJGenius: good thing our top schools who feed into the top roles and most important places disagree! They say "give me the kid who scores 155 l;egit and 172 with double time, they are better than the 167 legit no double time"
okay get ur money up

There’s been about a 30% increase nation wide in law school apps this school, I believe this may just favor larger institutions & I’m curious to see if schools begin to take in larger class sizes to compensate
12:06
@ronniedoeslaw: only if employers are willing to hire more lawyers, which seems doubtful. Schools dont want unemployed grads
class sizes appear to be staying the same
12:36
veo3 is scary

the waiting game is just as hard as the lsat lol
