A quick definition of balliva:

Term: BALLIVA

Definition: Balliva means the office, jurisdiction, or district of a bailiff. A bailiff is a peace officer who has the authority to maintain peace and order in a specific area. In the past, a village was called a 'wick,' and each village had a bailiff who was responsible for maintaining peace in that area. The bailiwick of a peace officer is the special territory over which they exercise their authority. For example, the bailiwick of a policeman is their city, the bailiwick of a sheriff is their county, and the bailiwick of a state officer, such as a member of the Highway Patrol, is the state.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Balliva is another term for bailiwick, which refers to the office, jurisdiction, or district of a bailiff. It is the area where a bailiff has the authority to maintain peace and order.

For example, in the early days, a village was called a 'wick,' and each village had a bailiff who was responsible for maintaining peace and order within the territory of the wick. The bailiff's jurisdiction was limited to the area of the wick, and this area was referred to as the bailiwick of the bailiff.

Similarly, a police officer's bailiwick is usually the city where they work, while a sheriff's bailiwick is their county. A state officer, such as a member of the Highway Patrol, has the entire state as their bailiwick.

The term balliva is not commonly used today, but it is still used in some legal contexts.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills
letsseehowitgoesnow

so washu only called one person
So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@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+
this is like the schizophrenic posts JJK tik tok be putting out
powerscaling Law School deans up next
