sight

Read a random definition: DCF

A quick definition of sight:

Sight: When someone agrees to pay a bill or a check after they have seen it, we call it "payable after sight." This means they have accepted it and will pay it later.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Sight refers to a drawee's acceptance of a draft that is payable after acceptance. The term "after sight" means that the payment is due after the drawee accepts the draft.

Example: If a company issues a draft to another company for payment after sight, it means that the payment is due after the second company accepts the draft. For instance, if Company A issues a draft to Company B for $1000 payable after sight, Company B will have to accept the draft before the payment is due.

Explanation: The example illustrates how sight works in the context of a business transaction. The drawee (Company B) has to accept the draft before the payment is due. This means that Company A can be sure that Company B has agreed to pay the amount specified in the draft before making the payment.

You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.

For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far

NemoPropheta

16:58

late march is way too late

NemoPropheta

early doesn’t matter but before thanksgiving matters

Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.
