Term: AB IRATO

Definition: Ab irato means "by one who is angry." This phrase is often used to describe a gift or devise made out of anger that goes against the interests of an heir. If someone wants to challenge this type of conveyance, they can take legal action known as an action ab irato.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ab irato (ab I-ray-toh) is a Latin term that means "by one who is angry." It is usually used to refer to a gift or devise made out of anger that is adverse to an heir's interests. At common law, an action to set aside this type of conveyance was known as an action ab irato.

Example 1: John was angry with his son for not following in his footsteps and becoming a lawyer. In his will, John left all his property to his daughter, ab irato, to spite his son.

Example 2: Mary was furious with her husband for cheating on her. She decided to sell their house and give all the money to charity, ab irato, without considering her husband's interests.

These examples illustrate the use of ab irato to describe a gift or devise made out of anger that is adverse to an heir's interests. In both cases, the testator acted out of anger and intentionally excluded their heirs from their inheritance.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
