visitation right

Read a random definition: Colorado River abstention

A quick definition of visitation right:

Visitation right: When a child lives with one parent, the other parent or grandparent may have the right to spend time with the child. This is called visitation right. Sometimes, the parent who doesn't live with the child has done something wrong, and the court has to decide how much time they can spend with the child. In international law, visitation right means that a country can search a ship from another country to make sure it's not doing anything wrong, like carrying illegal things. If they find something wrong, they can take it away and punish the people who did it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Visitation right is a court-ordered privilege given to a noncustodial parent or grandparent to spend time with a child or grandchild who is living with another person, usually the custodial parent. This right is granted to ensure that the child maintains a relationship with the noncustodial parent or grandparent.

Example: If a couple gets divorced, and the mother gets custody of the child, the father may be granted visitation rights to spend time with the child on weekends or holidays. This allows the child to maintain a relationship with both parents.

Explanation: The example illustrates how visitation rights work in a divorce case. The noncustodial parent, in this case, the father, is granted the right to visit the child to ensure that the child maintains a relationship with both parents. This is important for the child's emotional and mental well-being.

Visitation right can also refer to a belligerent nation's right to search a neutral vessel to find out whether it is carrying contraband or is otherwise engaged in nonneutral service. If the searched vessel is found to be carrying contraband or is engaged in nonneutral service, the searchers may seize the contraband and carry out an appropriate punishment.

Example: During a war, a belligerent nation may search a neutral vessel to ensure that it is not carrying weapons or other supplies to the enemy. If the vessel is found to be carrying weapons, the belligerent nation may seize the weapons and punish the crew.

Explanation: The example illustrates how visitation right works in international law. A belligerent nation has the right to search a neutral vessel to ensure that it is not aiding the enemy. If the vessel is found to be carrying contraband, the belligerent nation may seize it and carry out an appropriate punishment.

Tell us what's important to you

wow you guys really argued hard against that brick wall
20:11
Im sure many Nazis also joined for the money and stability, but you know as long as you’re “just following orders” yeah its the systems problem sure you’re totally absolved of perpetuating such a system
20:42
dude didn’t u say u were working for a defense contractor or something?

20:43
I think I'm mostly aligned with you/your views on this issue, nemo, but I don't see how being mean in a chat is going to change hearts and minds idk
20:44
I think there’s a place to acknowledge both that the military is an institution that preys on low income people and you should never have to see ur best friend die in front of you while also believing that we’ve engaged in a lot of meaningless wars and if you’ve participated you are complicit
20:45
We’ve lost a lot of humanity and depth in the way we approach subjects like this in the modern discourse

^^ I also second that (third actually)
21:17
my experience working with a defense contractor is exactly the reason I hold this opinion
21:18
I literally worked across the room from a team working on AI targeting software for drone strikes
21:20
and by AI targeting software I mean AI that identifies “high value” targets
21:20
aka school buses full of children or hospitals

22:14
yeah I mean if you wanna call veterans Nazis surely you’re on a pretty equivalent standing here
22:15
do you think it would be accurate or truthful if someone were to describe you that way?

22:27
i think he's worse actually. vets can be anything from infantry (probably kill one or two guys max) to support staff (kill nobody). if you make industrial weapons you are facilitating higher levels of violence
22:35
Fair, though I can step back and recognize my naivety and come to the conclusions I have. Rather than arguing that any attack against me in unjustified
22:36
But tbf I did get fired for being too politically outspoken
OlDirtyBtard
22:39
i mean honestly forget about attacking anyone. i think if you really care about these issues it's best to look at it from a systemic lens rather than spewing bile

also fwiw some of the biggest anti-war advocates are veterans. see the "winter soldier" protest movement during the Vietnam war
I wasnt infantry but every marine is a riffleman. I also didnt join for the financial need. I ended up leaving s footprint int he service by making policy to help service members with their immigration status/family member status for the DoD. Call it whatever you want but those are the meaningful things and experience I bring with me to Law School.
a* the* sorry lol

Sounds like you'll have plenty with which to dazzle admissions committees. Also sounds like nobody in here is a vet lol. Maybe try r/lawschooladmissions?

Or possibly even reach out to admissions offices at schools you're interested in. Often they have current students who serve as admissions ambassadors, and you can ask to be put in touch with someone who fits a specific profile (e.g., a veteran). Doesn't hurt to try, and showing early interest in a school is never a bad idea anyway (supposedly they keep track of contact with applicants/prospective students)

I am quite impressed by the civility and level of discourse in this chat, I have a lot of faith in the new generation's wisdom, kindness, and rejection of the status quo. I think we have some exceptional leaders rising up, and I am confident some of them are you. :)

Also, if u were a kid from 1990+, you had access to the most amount of information at once in human history. This made nuanced and critical thinkers. I am excited for the future. Make tech ur b, acquire knowledge, help people/make the world a better place. One step at a time.
cant tell if sarcasm or not
