A quick definition of alea:

Term: ALEA

Definition: Alea is a Latin word that means a game of chance or the possibility of winning or losing something in a contract. It refers to situations where the outcome is uncertain and depends on luck or probability. For example, rolling a dice or playing a slot machine are both examples of alea. When you enter into a contract, there is always a risk that you may not get what you expected, and that risk is called alea.

A more thorough explanation:

ALEA

ALEA is a Latin term used in Roman law. It has two meanings:

  1. A game of chance.
  2. The chance of gain or loss in a contract.

Examples of ALEA include:

  • Playing a game of poker or roulette at a casino.
  • Entering into a business contract where the outcome is uncertain and could result in either a profit or a loss.

These examples illustrate the two meanings of ALEA. In the first example, playing a game of chance is the primary focus, and the outcome is uncertain. In the second example, the focus is on the chance of gain or loss in a business contract, where the outcome is also uncertain.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills
letsseehowitgoesnow
11:17
so washu only called one person
So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
this is like the schizophrenic posts JJK tik tok be putting out
