A quick definition of qualified veto:

Qualified Veto: A qualified veto is a type of veto where a person or group has the power to reject a decision, but only under certain conditions or circumstances. This means that they cannot simply say "no" to a decision, but must provide a specific reason or justification for their rejection. It is similar to a regular veto, but with additional requirements for its use.

A more thorough explanation:

A qualified veto is a type of veto where the person with veto power can only reject a decision under certain conditions. This means that the veto power is limited and cannot be used arbitrarily.

For example, in the United States, the President has a qualified veto power over legislation passed by Congress. The President can veto a bill, but Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Another example of a qualified veto is in the United Nations Security Council. Any of the five permanent members (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) can veto a resolution, but only if they believe it is a threat to international peace and security.

These examples illustrate how a qualified veto works by showing that the veto power is not absolute and can only be used under certain circumstances. This helps to prevent abuse of power and ensures that decisions are made through a fair and democratic process.

that's fair! although section stacking is real---that part scared me a lot when applying. the near-guarantee of good outcomes no matter where in your class you end up is, I think, what is attractive to many about the T14

at least that's why those schools were my goal, especially as a risk-averse older applicant. I have fewer years between now and retirement during which to pay off loans and then earn enough money to be able to stop working before I die lol

that said, I still find most redditors to be... ungrounded, let's say

put it into perspective: my firm is a tier 1 law firm in chicago and consistently ranked and 90% of our attorneys went to kent

also side note: i forgot law schools that aren't aba-approved exist

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

90% of your attorneys went to Kent, but what perfect of Kent graduates are working at your firm (or making good money, or if not, getting their loans paid off by Kent)? the latter is, I'd argue, what matters more

badhorrormovie

16:06

i'm sorry i don't quite understand what you mean

c0bra1

16:09

if 90% of attorneys somewhere went to kent but you employ 10 attorneys, thats only 9 attorneys out of a possible 100+ class size at kent

i think is the point they are trying to get at

Okay but clearly the point is that people act like going to a non t14 is a death sentence and it’s not

100%, that's why I think the sub is untethered to reality. but/and I was aiming for tippy top schools, and I think it's not wild to have that goal if you have reasons :)

many people have different ideas of what a good outcome would be and have even more different ideas of what amount of work they would like to put to get there

Reddit in particular is so myopic about outcomes, there are large portions of the country where making 80k still gives you a comfortable life, and ~80k is often cited as the low end of the bimodal distribution of private attorney salaries

not saying reaching for a t-14 is a wild thing to do!!!! man i would go to nyu. i'm simply stating what esoterica said, people that act like not being at a t-14 means your life is over is simply not correct. but i think anyone outside of reddit would understand that.
