Term: abandum

Definition: Abandum is a word from Law Latin that means something that has been forfeited. It can also be spelled as abandun or abandonum.

A more thorough explanation:

Abandum

Abandum is a legal term that refers to something that has been forfeited or given up by its owner. It means that the owner has abandoned their rights to the thing in question.

  • When a person fails to pay their mortgage, the bank may take possession of their house as abandum.
  • If a car is left on the side of the road for a long time and the owner does not claim it, it may be considered abandum and towed away.

These examples illustrate how abandum is used in legal situations where ownership of property is in question. When something is considered abandum, it means that the owner has given up their rights to it, and it can be claimed by someone else or taken by the government.

most of the stuff a tutor will teach you is stuff you can figure out yourself if you’re sufficiently motivated. if you would benefit from some support and structure tutoring can be helpful

I'm assuming then for status checking eventually that the school emails you that information once LSAC finishes processing?
babycat

Yep

I'm in a dual degree program that my undergraduate has where if you meet a gpa and percentile you can have your senior year be your L1 ! Cuts off a year of time and money and the partner was my top pick for law anyways. It all just worked out and since it's ED can't really apply anywhere else because the L1 transfers back to complete my degree. :)

oh that’s nice! I guess you have a high degree of certainty about the process then

@babycat: A few things. I mean, for one, this is my fifth year of undergrad (graduating with a dual BA/MA), so I don't think academically I'm incredibly behind or anything. Beyond, that I've explored other fields, and for the very niche area of public interest work I am interested in, law is the only way I can make a substantiative difference so why not start now.

And also my other options just are not great. I could take a shit paying job at a think tank, I was offered a job at, but I don’t find the work interesting. Or I could continue in academia, getting a phd, but again just not especially interested in academic philosophy.
