Read a random definition: term to conclude

A quick definition of animo:

ANIMO is a Latin term that has different meanings depending on the context. It can refer to ill will or animosity towards a particular group of people, which is called class-based animus. ANIMO can also mean intention, such as the intention to steal, donate, or cancel something. In Roman law, ANIMO was used to determine a person's intent to possess or own something. Additionally, ANIMO can be part of legal phrases that describe a person's intention to act in a certain way, such as the intention to kill or harm someone. ANNATES and ANNATS are related terms that refer to the same thing: the payment made to the Pope by a bishop upon their appointment to a new diocese. Lastly, ANNEX is a noun that means something attached to another thing, such as a document or an addition to a building.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A Latin term that refers to the intention or motive behind an action or decision.

Examples:

  • Animus furandi: The intention to steal. This phrase is used in criminal law to describe the mental state of a person who intends to take someone else's property without permission.
  • Animus testandi: The intention to make a will. This phrase is used in estate planning to describe the mental state of a person who is creating a legal document that outlines how their assets will be distributed after their death.
  • Animus possidendi: The intention to possess something. This phrase is used in Roman law to describe the mental state of a person who intends to exercise control over a thing, whether rightfully or wrongfully.

These examples illustrate how animo is used to describe the mental state or intention behind a particular action or decision. Understanding a person's animo can be important in legal contexts, as it can help determine whether their actions were lawful or not.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
