A quick definition of aestimatio:

Term: AESTIMATIO

Definition: Aestimatio is a legal agreement in ancient Rome where the owner of goods would give them to someone else to sell for the highest price possible. The seller would pay the owner an agreed price for the goods sold and return the rest.

A more thorough explanation:

aestimatio (es-tə-may-shee-oh) is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to an agreement between two parties where the owner of goods hands them over to another person with the understanding that the other person will sell the goods for the highest possible price. The owner of the goods will receive an agreed-upon price for whatever goods are sold, and the remaining goods will be returned to the owner. The plural form of aestimatio is aestimationes (es-tə-may-shee-oh-neez).

An example of aestimatio would be if a farmer gave their crops to a merchant to sell at the market. The merchant would then sell the crops for the highest possible price and return any unsold crops to the farmer. The farmer would receive an agreed-upon price for the crops that were sold.

Another example would be if a person gave their antique furniture to a consignment shop to sell. The consignment shop would sell the furniture for the highest possible price and return any unsold furniture to the owner. The owner would receive an agreed-upon price for the furniture that was sold.

These examples illustrate the concept of aestimatio because they show how one person entrusts their goods to another person to sell for the highest possible price. The owner of the goods receives an agreed-upon price for the goods that are sold, and the remaining goods are returned to the owner.

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before
Dkk
18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34

Dkk
18:35
@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.
18:36
Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough

TGM
18:39

TGM
18:40

TGM

I want to meet an attorney that defends clients who run into flat earth problems. I want an attorney that knows and believes in flat earth theory.
