substantive crime

Read a random definition: quasi ex delicto

A quick definition of substantive crime:

Substantive crime: This refers to a crime that is considered to be a serious offense. It is different from procedural crimes, which are related to how a case is handled in court. Substantive crimes are the actual illegal actions that a person has committed, such as theft or murder.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A substantive crime is a criminal offense that is considered to be a violation of the law. It is a crime that involves an actual act or behavior that is prohibited by law, rather than just a thought or intention.

Example: Murder, theft, and assault are all examples of substantive crimes. These are actions that are specifically prohibited by law and are punishable by the legal system. In contrast, a person's thoughts or intentions to commit a crime are not considered substantive crimes until they take action to carry out those intentions.

Explanation: The examples illustrate the definition of substantive crime by showing that these are actual actions that are prohibited by law and can result in legal consequences. It is important to note that not all actions are considered substantive crimes, as some may be legal or may not be specifically prohibited by law.

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

NosyBeagle

$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

@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

ronniedoeslaw

12:05

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

FrioJGenius

12:06

@ronniedoeslaw: only if employers are willing to hire more lawyers, which seems doubtful. Schools dont want unemployed grads

windyMagician

12:12

class sizes appear to be staying the same

i had a dream that i was playing outside on a hill and my mom loved me

NemoPropheta

@ronniedoeslaw: upset the score was lower than my PTs

ronniedoeslaw

13:49

@NemoPropheta: don’t get down on yourself, that’s a dream score for many. The fact you’re scoring high on your PTs is a good sign. Do something today to relax and take your mind off of it. Probably subliminally showing how stressed you are about it, which is okay bc same

most ppl score lower than their pts their first time fwiw
