Statute of Anne

Read a random definition: innocent

A quick definition of Statute of Anne:

Statute of Anne: The Statute of Anne is a law that was created in 1709 to protect book authors' rights. It was the first law that granted copyright protection to book authors. The law also modernized the English bankruptcy system and introduced the discharge of the debtor's existing debts.

A more thorough explanation:

The Statute of Anne is a historical law that has two different meanings:

  1. The Copyright Act of 1709, which was the first law to give authors the right to control the use of their books. This means that if someone wants to make copies of a book, they need permission from the author first. The law was named after Queen Anne, who ruled England at the time.
  2. The law that changed the English bankruptcy system in 1705. This law allowed people who owed money to have their debts forgiven if they could not pay them back. This was a big change from the previous system, which punished people who could not pay their debts by putting them in prison.

For example, if a person writes a book and publishes it, they have the right to control who can make copies of it. If someone wants to make copies, they need to get permission from the author first. This is because of the Copyright Act of 1709, which was the first law to give authors this right.

Another example is if a person owes a lot of money and cannot pay it back. Before the Statute of Anne, they would be put in prison until they could pay. But after the law was passed, they could have their debts forgiven and start over. This was a big change that helped many people who were struggling with debt.

needing accomdations for tests isn't cheating tho. you just need extra help because your brain isn't typical of most test takers
It is when they dont need them lmfao then they go "oh no i do need them i just didnt know i had adhd until 24 and took hundreds of tests my whole life without, but the tutor said just do it" lmfao no one says people who really need it shouldnt get it, but the thing is 80%+ are people who just go "i need lsat to get into the school i want and getting double time moves me from 167 to 177 and that is worth a 300k scholarship and a job making 260k at grad instead of 80k"

I wonder if the logic games removal makes the LSAT easier or harder. Many people I’ve spoken to said that was their favorite section
@NosyBeagle: you can use something like this: https://www.talkwithfrida.com/adult-adhd-diagnosis/ and now you magically have adhd! And can get double time! All for about $300 lmfao aka you buy a 300k scholarship and a job with an extra 100k+ per year for $300. Many do this. They compete for spots, not to be the most deserving.

i think i could've conquered logic games if i gave myself more time to study. but i don't miss it tbh

$300? bruh
This is why i say everyone should get the double time test. No more accommodations, completely level playing field, aka equality of opportunity. Logic games are the funnest to study but LR is exactly the same on being able to EXPECT -0. And yes, $300 or less depending where you live! And lsac will allow that to get double time, only 3 sections, unlimited stop/start in the sessions, and 15 minute breaks lmfao you can also get it on paper!

@PremiumFrequentCrane: yeah double time is excessive since a significant part of being a lawyer is meeting deadlines, like if they gave an extra 5-10 minutes, whatever, but 1h10m to answer 25 MC questions is overkill
girl i don’t have accommodations
11:59
i do :3

time and a half

unmedicated tho
@FrioJGenius: good thing our top schools who feed into the top roles and most important places disagree! They say "give me the kid who scores 155 l;egit and 172 with double time, they are better than the 167 legit no double time"
okay get ur money up

There’s been about a 30% increase nation wide in law school apps this school, I believe this may just favor larger institutions & I’m curious to see if schools begin to take in larger class sizes to compensate
12:06
@ronniedoeslaw: only if employers are willing to hire more lawyers, which seems doubtful. Schools dont want unemployed grads
class sizes appear to be staying the same
