Read a random definition: seminaufragium

A quick definition of Uniform Premarital Agreements Act:

The Uniform Premarital Agreements Act (UPAA) is a law created in 1983 that helps people create prenuptial contracts before getting married. These contracts are written agreements that become effective only after the couple gets married. The UPAA provides a clear framework for drafting complete and enforceable agreements that can govern the couple's assets, support, and obligations during the marriage, at death, and upon divorce. About one-third of the states in the United States have adopted the UPAA in some form.

A more thorough explanation:

The Uniform Premarital Agreements Act (UPAA) is a model statute created in 1983 that provides guidelines for drafting prenuptial contracts. The UPAA ensures that prenuptial agreements are complete and enforceable.

According to the UPAA, a premarital agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. It only becomes effective upon marriage. The agreement can cover various aspects such as assets, support, and obligations during the marriage, at death, and upon divorce.

For example, if a couple decides to get married and one of them owns a business, they may want to create a prenuptial agreement that outlines how the business will be divided in case of a divorce. Another example is if one partner has significant debt, they may want to include provisions in the prenuptial agreement that protect the other partner from being responsible for that debt.

The UPAA has been adopted in about one-third of the states in the United States. Its purpose is to provide a more certain framework for drafting prenuptial agreements and to ensure that both parties are protected in case of a divorce.

@GatorNation: I don't know that school all that well. But it's ranked really low and usually rankings don't matter much if you're just trying to practice. But I'd be careful and look on reddit. Cause some of these schools can be highkey predatory.

Like some schools have a conditional scholarship that they take away from you at the drop of a hat and no faculty support in 1L so a lot of people get fucked. I know someone who got screwed by Western New England. Not saying that it is just that I wouldn't think of making it my go-to without digging into it.

Ok thank you!

check the 509 report, should show bar passage rate, employment data, and percent of students that retained their scholarship after 1L
