ambiguitas patens

Read a random definition: extinguishment of lien

A quick definition of ambiguitas patens:

Ambiguitas patens is a fancy way of saying "patent ambiguity." This means that there is an uncertainty or confusion in the meaning of a word or phrase that is clearly visible in a document. It's like when someone writes something that can be interpreted in different ways, and it's not clear which one is correct. This is different from "latent ambiguity," which is when the confusion only becomes apparent when you try to apply the words to a specific situation.

A more thorough explanation:

Ambiguitas patens is a type of ambiguity that is clear and obvious from the language used in a document. This means that there is a lack of clarity or uncertainty in the meaning of a word or phrase that is written down. For example, if a contract states that a product will be delivered on "Monday," but does not specify which Monday, this creates a patent ambiguity. The meaning of the word "Monday" is unclear and could refer to any Monday. This type of ambiguity is different from latent ambiguity, which is not immediately apparent from the language used in a document.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure

is Cornell a school where only people who interview get in?
I think so
She said historically a quarter get interview invites and then two thirds of those people get in.
