A quick definition of annus et dies:

Annus et dies is a Latin phrase that means "a year and a day." In criminal law, it refers to the rule that an act causing death is not considered homicide if the death occurs more than a year and a day after the act was committed. This means that if someone causes harm to another person and that person dies more than a year and a day later, the person who caused the harm cannot be charged with murder or manslaughter. The phrase "year and a day" was used in ancient times to mean just a year, but it included both the first and last day of the year. Today, we only count the last day of the year.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: Annus et Dies
Definition: Annus et Dies means "a year and a day" in Latin. In criminal law, it refers to the common-law principle that an act causing death is not considered homicide if the death occurs more than a year and a day after the act was committed. This means that if someone causes harm to another person and that person dies more than a year and a day later, the person who caused the harm cannot be charged with homicide.
Example: If someone hits another person and that person dies a year and a day later, the person who hit them cannot be charged with homicide. This is because of the annus et dies principle.

same outcomes, temple has better trial advocacy. nova has the most partners in BL firms in philly than any other school. But both send 20% to BL if thats ur thing. Temple is located in arguably the roughest part of philly. the campus itself is a campus, but not more than a few blocks away are some neighborhoods u dont wanna walk around in.
