A quick definition of replevy:

Replevy: An old-fashioned word that means to get back something that was taken away from you by using a special legal document called a writ of replevin. It can also mean to bail out a prisoner. A replevy bond is a type of bond used in legal cases. A repliant is someone who makes a reply in a legal case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Replevy (ri-plev-ee) is an archaic term that means the same thing as replevin. It is a legal term that refers to the recovery of goods by a writ of replevin. It can also mean to recover goods by replevin or to bail a prisoner.

Examples:

  • He was able to replevy his stolen car by filing a writ of replevin.
  • The farmer replevied his livestock that had been wrongfully taken by his neighbor.
  • The sheriff replevied the prisoner by posting bail.

These examples illustrate how replevy is used in legal situations to recover goods or bail out a prisoner.

Once you deposit you lose a lot of leverage

It’s still possible but harder

@Ijustwannagetinman: it’s still possible but you lose leverage because you’ve already given them money so they assume you’re more attached to their school

SLS A was me. I was accepted last week but made an error when clicking the date. I fixed it.

Also at that point you won’t get much more too but they may try to make it binding. I’ve seen a few places (not GULC FTR) that give like a 5-10K increase but it is binding

@CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick: did ur lawhub ever update
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
20:50
I don't have lawhub. In fairness to Stanford, it may be that my status checker for Stanford has already indicated that I was rejected. I haven't checked since I knew there was next to no chance I would get in. I just don't understand the need to send someone an R admissions decision to their home.

unhinged adcom behavior

I think it's just Stanford reminding you that they have money to waste and still didn't want you. So yeah, unhinged adcom behavior indeed.

@WasabiPirates: By the way, we have the same "goal." I also want to be a federal judge. Well, I would also be happy with one of certain state judgeships. May I ask what you're thinking your ideal career trajectory would be prior to, you hope, landing a federal judgeship? Like, do you want to be in private practice beforehand, government, both?
