annexation

Read a random definition: Direct Tax Clauses

A quick definition of annexation:

Annexation is when a country, state, or city takes control of land that was not originally part of it. This is done through a formal process that involves raising a flag and making an announcement. Sometimes, the land being annexed is not connected to the rest of the area, and a narrow strip of land is used to connect the two. This is called cherry-stem annexation.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Annexation is the act of attaching or incorporating land within a nation, state, or municipality's dominion. It can also refer to the point at which a fixture becomes a part of the realty to which it is attached.

Examples:

  • When a city decides to annex a nearby area, it means that the city is incorporating that land into its boundaries.
  • If a homeowner installs a built-in bookshelf, it becomes a fixture and is annexed to the property.
  • Cherry-stem annexation is a type of annexation where the annexed land is not contiguous to the acquiring municipality, and a narrow corridor of annexed land leads to the targeted area. This type of annexation is called cherry-stem because the annexed territory resembles a cherry on a map, with the narrow corridor being the stem.

The examples illustrate how annexation can refer to both the incorporation of land into a larger entity and the attachment of fixtures to real property. Cherry-stem annexation is a specific type of annexation that involves a unique configuration of annexed land.

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?

@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+

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
