same offense

A quick definition of same offense:

Same offense: When someone breaks the law, it's called an offense or a crime. Same offense means doing the same crime more than once. For example, if someone steals something and gets caught, then steals something else later, those are both the same offense because they're both stealing.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Same offense refers to a violation of the law, which is also known as a criminal offense. It can be a minor crime or a major one, such as a felony or a misdemeanor. The terms "crime," "offense," and "criminal offense" are often used interchangeably.

Examples:

  • Acquisitive offense: This refers to a crime that involves the unlawful appropriation of someone else's property, such as theft or larceny.
  • Allied offense: This is a crime that has elements similar to another crime, and the commission of one automatically means the commission of the other. For example, if someone commits robbery, they also commit assault.
  • Anticipatory offense: This is an inchoate offense, which means it is a crime that has not yet been committed but is being planned. For example, if someone plans to commit a robbery and takes steps towards it, they can be charged with an anticipatory offense.
  • Arrestable offense: In English law, this refers to an offense for which the punishment is fixed by law or for which a statute authorizes imprisonment for five years or more. This includes crimes such as murder, rape, and robbery.

The examples illustrate the different types of offenses that can be considered the same offense. They show that a crime can be classified in different ways, depending on its nature and the legal system in which it is being prosecuted.

@RasheedWallaceFan: take your list and research the city, campus, tuition, bar passage, employment by sector, etc.!!! it might help you narrow down your school choices
also don't pay much attention to the people on reddit. there's genuinely good advice but there's a ton of people who are just energy vampires (average reddit user)

The real reason why lawyers are alchoholics... Because there is so much of a wait time between tests and scores.

Are the 7sage app requirements as far as essays go accurate? I would love to spend my summer preparing my applications but I dont want to waste time writing essays that wont be there. Is there a way to know what will be on the apps, or when those apps will be available to view? Or should I just focus on my PS and DS for now?
@RasheedWallaceFan: they were accurate for me, but school requirements change year to year and there's no way for anyone to know for sure
