ancipitis usus

Read a random definition: federal gift tax

A quick definition of ancipitis usus:

Ancipitis Usus: This is a term used to describe goods that can be used for both peaceful and warlike purposes. These goods are known as conditional contraband and can include things like coal and food. Contraband refers to goods that are illegal to import, export, or possess. Absolute contraband includes items like weapons and military equipment, while derivative contraband becomes illegal when used in committing a crime. Contraband per se is always illegal to possess, no matter how it is used.

A more thorough explanation:

Ancipitis usus is a Latin term that refers to conditional contraband. This means goods that can be used for both peaceful and warlike purposes, such as coal and food.

Contraband refers to illegal or prohibited trade, including goods that are unlawful to import, export, or possess. There are two types of contraband:

  • Absolute contraband: Goods used primarily for war, such as arms and ammunition, as well as clothing and equipment of a military character.
  • Conditional contraband: Goods that can be used for both peaceful and warlike purposes, such as coal and food. This is also known as ancipitis usus.

For example, during times of war, a country may restrict the import of certain goods that could be used to support the enemy's military efforts. Coal and food are examples of conditional contraband because they can be used to power factories and feed civilians, but they can also be used to support military operations.

Overall, ancipitis usus refers to goods that have a dual purpose and could potentially be used for military purposes, making them subject to restrictions during times of war or conflict.

hmm I know some school offer that in their offer (I also believe KS does not negotiate) but I wonder which schools would reconsider with a condition of in state after 1L yr?

@texaslawhopefully: Not necessarily but I believe what Aristotle used to say. He used to say you could not have a functioning political system if you can not get gender relations right. Or essentially that.
KS does negotiate! I got an email saying theyre doing it for the first time this year
its rather limited but its not nothing

@HopefullyInLawSchool: noted, thanks for the intel. I know we joke around but all things conidered, KS is goated

@BigStrongBug: Nah aristotle only applies gender as a role which I think either sex could fulfill. My issue with Trump's EO to limit things to only sex but I am fine with him doing it for now.
Yeah and Aristotle old as hell boy he would’ve died of hysteria after learning what the internet and tiktok is

@SplitterusClitterus: I think some school shootings could have been prevented if gender relations were better.
Very few of any,, none come to my mind tbh

@SplitterusClitterus: Well, I would say almost every one of them. Either due to more stable households, community connections or even better treatment of those going through divorced and whatnot. Almost every shooter has at least one of these elements included with their reasons for killing.

@Dkk: No. Aristotle said the family was the fundamental political unit, which is different than what you're saying. But, more to the point, the American political system exists vis-a-vis to 17/18th century political thought, or classical liberalism. Of which the central assumption is that the highest end is social choice.

Thanks y’all! I’m pumped about it

@Dkk: Yes, and he never said what you said he said. The closest he gets to that is that the family is the fundamental political unit.

And that's discussed pretty clearly in Book I of The Politics.
