act of possession

Read a random definition: Court of Exchequer

A quick definition of act of possession:

Act of possession: When someone physically controls something with the intention of owning it, it is called an act of possession. This can be something that can be moved or something that is fixed in place. It can also refer to behavior that shows someone wants to claim something as their own, especially if they are trying to take it from someone else. This type of behavior can be used to support a claim of adverse possession, which means someone has taken control of property that belongs to someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

An act of possession is when someone physically controls a tangible object, either movable or immovable, with the intention of claiming ownership. It can also refer to behavior that shows an intent to claim property as one's own, especially in cases of adverse possession.

For example, if someone moves into an abandoned house, starts paying property taxes, and makes improvements to the property, they are demonstrating an act of possession. This behavior supports their claim of adverse possession, which means they may eventually be able to legally claim ownership of the property.

Another example of an act of possession is when someone picks up a lost item on the street and takes it home with them. By physically controlling the item and intending to keep it, they are demonstrating an act of possession.

Overall, an act of possession involves physically controlling an object and intending to claim ownership, either through legal means or by demonstrating adverse possession.

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)
