Read a random definition: income averaging

A quick definition of public interest:

Public interest refers to the well-being of the general public that deserves attention and safeguarding. It can also refer to something that affects the entire community and requires government regulation.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Public interest refers to the well-being and welfare of the general public that deserves recognition and protection. It is something that affects the public as a whole and justifies government regulation.

  • Environmental protection laws are in the public interest because they help to preserve natural resources and prevent pollution that can harm people's health.
  • Consumer protection laws are in the public interest because they ensure that products and services are safe and reliable for everyone to use.
  • Public health initiatives, such as vaccination programs, are in the public interest because they help to prevent the spread of diseases and protect the health of the entire community.

These examples illustrate how public interest is concerned with protecting the well-being of the general public. They show how government regulation can be used to ensure that everyone has access to safe and healthy environments, products, and services. By prioritizing public interest, governments can help to create a more equitable and just society for all.

i know its hard to know because I haven't taken LSAT yet, but Im going to graduate with a 3.4. Idk if id write an addendum for my gpa because i just slacked off for a lot of college unfortunately. Plan is to start studying for lsat in October, and then take a gap year to get WE. T14 isn't even on my radar, but from people who know and understand the admission process better probably, am i cooked at even getting into a T50. I know lsat score is huge but reading people get rejected while having 3.8+ is anxiety inducing
23:25
@Sagamore: you can do applicant search to get closer results but there are plenty of ppl with a 3.3-3
23:25
3.4 that got into t50s-t20s (sorry i pressed send early)
23:26
i would just focus on maximizing ur lsat score
we always talk about fo pm but never about fo am

Don’t know if I’m about to make things worse but hang in there! If you’re stressed out get to your nearest trampoline and start jumping! It’s better than therapy! Hopefully you’re under some stars!
