Simple English definitions for legal terms

shares outstanding

Read a random definition: due-on-encumbrance clause

A quick definition of shares outstanding:

Shares outstanding refer to the number of shares of a company's stock that are currently owned by investors and have not been bought back by the company. These shares give the owners the right to vote on important company decisions and to receive a portion of the company's profits in the form of dividends. The total number of shares outstanding can affect the value of a company's stock and its overall market performance.

A more thorough explanation:

Shares outstanding refer to the total number of shares of a company's stock that are currently owned by investors and have not been repurchased by the company. This number is important because it is used to calculate important financial ratios like earnings per share and market capitalization.

For example, if a company has issued 1 million shares of stock and 100,000 of those shares have been repurchased by the company, then the number of shares outstanding is 900,000.

Knowing the number of shares outstanding can help investors understand the value of their investment in a company. If a company has a high number of shares outstanding, it may be more difficult for the stock price to increase because there are more shares to be bought and sold. On the other hand, if a company has a low number of shares outstanding, it may be easier for the stock price to increase because there are fewer shares available.

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
Any acceptances today?

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.
fujos after stubbing their toe: YAOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this old old old guy I work with (not a lawyer, not in a law-related field) found out I'm going to law school and started telling me stories about when he took the LSAT back in the day. said something about either inventing or interpreting a made-up language? and doing math? I was like, no way can this be real. but now you have me wondering
16:52
I think that was back when it first started, and it was mostly oral exams. The 70's and 80's were similar content to whats on it now, but you had to write the essay while taking the rest of the exam
