Read a random definition: first-blush rule

A quick definition of accomenda:

Accomenda: A type of contract made between a cargo owner and a shipmaster in the past. The contract allowed the shipmaster to sell the cargo and share the profits with the owner after deducting the owner's costs. The contract had two parts: a mandatum, which gave the shipmaster the power to sell the cargo, and a partnership contract, which divided the profits between the parties.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Accomenda (ak-uh-men-duh) is a historical maritime law contract between a cargo owner and a shipmaster. The contract involves the sale of the cargo, and the parties agree to divide the profits after deducting the owner's costs. The contract consists of two agreements: a mandatum, where the owner gives the shipmaster the power to dispose of the cargo, and a partnership contract, where the parties divide any profits arising from the sale.

Example: A cargo owner and a shipmaster enter into an accomenda contract. The cargo owner gives the shipmaster the power to sell the cargo, and they agree to divide the profits after deducting the owner's costs. The shipmaster sells the cargo and earns a profit of $10,000. After deducting the owner's costs of $2,000, they divide the remaining profit of $8,000 equally.

The example illustrates how an accomenda contract works, where the cargo owner and the shipmaster agree to sell the cargo and divide the profits.

Hi everyone! Decided a bit too late that I wanted to go into law. GPA currently stands at 3.76 (one more semester to go) and I'm interested in going into immigration law. Anybody got any advice for LSAT studying and applications? I plan on taking a gap year to have some time for internships and such :)

Apply for the LSAT fee waiver to try to mitigate the cost of materials! 7Sage is $1 for a year if you have the fee waiver. I also think you should try to work in an immigration firm in some way to see if it’s something you really want to pursue and to add to your resume. Good luck!!! One tip I would also give is to not sign up for the LSAT until you’re practice tests average are around the score you’re aiming for

Would an internship through CHCI help my application as well?
Dkk

@madollyy: It would help as a soft but the big focus should be GPA while you can and LSAT right now. I would say GPA is 40% of the app, LSAt 50% and everything else 10%.
