Blackstone lawyer

Read a random definition: original precedent

A quick definition of Blackstone lawyer:

A Blackstone lawyer is a type of lawyer who has a lot of knowledge about old legal principles. They may have taught themselves about the law by reading a book called Blackstone's Commentaries. This type of lawyer was especially common in America before the Civil War.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A Blackstone lawyer is a slang term used to describe two types of lawyers. The first type is a lawyer who has a broad knowledge of blackletter principles. Blackletter principles refer to the traditional legal principles that were used in England and America before the 19th century. The second type of Blackstone lawyer is a self-educated lawyer, especially in antebellum America, whose legal training consists primarily of reading Blackstone's Commentaries.

Example 1: John is a Blackstone lawyer who specializes in property law. He has a deep understanding of the traditional legal principles that were used in England and America before the 19th century. He is able to apply these principles to modern property law cases, which gives him an advantage over other lawyers who do not have this knowledge.

Example 2: Mary is a self-educated lawyer who learned about the law by reading Blackstone's Commentaries. She was not able to attend law school, but she was determined to become a lawyer. She spent years studying Blackstone's Commentaries and other legal texts, and she eventually passed the bar exam. Mary is a Blackstone lawyer because her legal training consisted primarily of reading Blackstone's Commentaries.

Explanation: The examples illustrate the two types of Blackstone lawyers. Example 1 shows a lawyer who has a broad knowledge of blackletter principles, which is the first type of Blackstone lawyer. Example 2 shows a self-educated lawyer who learned about the law by reading Blackstone's Commentaries, which is the second type of Blackstone lawyer. Both types of Blackstone lawyers are known for their deep understanding of traditional legal principles and their ability to apply these principles to modern legal cases.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
