term in gross

Read a random definition: transgression

A quick definition of term in gross:

A term is a word or phrase that has a specific meaning in a certain field or a rule in a contract. A fundamental term is a rule that must be included in a contract for it to be valid, while a nonessential term is not as important. A term in gross is a rule that is not attached to an estate or inheritance. A term of years is a fixed period of time, such as a lease. In court, a term is a period during which the court conducts judicial business. There are different types of court terms, such as general terms and special terms. A term annuity is a type of annuity payment, and a term fee is a sum that a solicitor may charge a client for each term in which legal proceedings take place.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A term in gross is a term that is unattached to an estate or inheritance.

Example: John owns a term in gross for a piece of land. This means that he has the right to use the land for a specific period of time, but he does not own the land itself.

Explanation: A term in gross is a type of legal term that is not attached to any property or estate. It is a right to use or occupy a property for a specific period of time, but it does not give the holder any ownership rights. In the example, John has the right to use the land for a specific period of time, but he does not own the land itself. This means that he cannot sell or transfer the land to anyone else.

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

all i sent them was my 504 plan from high school nthey said bet
12:00
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
