A quick definition of biting rule:

Term: Biting Rule

Definition: The biting rule is a legal principle that states that if a deed or will grants ownership of a property, any later provision that tries to change or limit that ownership will be considered invalid. This means that the original grant of ownership cannot be altered or reduced by any subsequent provisions.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The biting rule is a legal principle that states that if a deed or will grants a fee simple, any later provision that attempts to modify, cut down, or qualify the grant will be considered void.

Example: Let's say that John grants a fee simple to Jane for a piece of property. Later, John tries to add a provision that says Jane cannot use the property for commercial purposes. This provision would be considered void under the biting rule because it attempts to modify the original grant of a fee simple.

Explanation: The biting rule is designed to ensure that the original grant of a fee simple is not undermined by later attempts to modify it. This helps to provide clarity and certainty in property ownership, as it ensures that the original grant remains in effect unless it is explicitly revoked or modified in a legally valid way.

@VolatileClumsyAcolyte i had some mental health issues the beginning of my freshman year and then after that it was just really hard for me to get back in thr groove. plus the way my university lays out classes in my college is so irritating and makes it hard for me to learn but i dont have a choice cause thats the only option. and then there were some other classes i took that i got Cs in cause they were math based and it dragged me down even tho i will legit never have to do this math ever again in my life. when i did research everyone said not to let them know about mental health shit bc they might see me as an unstable candidate

@riordanker: for what it is worth; I really believe an offensive approach is best: read prompt, attack the shit argument, and predict the answer. LSAT is not like any multi choice test I have taken (I have took TONS of multi choice with high success via process of elim).
