bona fide emptor

Read a random definition: lessee

A quick definition of bona fide emptor:

Bona fide emptor means a good-faith purchaser who buys something for money or other valuable consideration without knowing about any other claims or defects in the property. This person has a superior right to the property and is not affected by any fraud or claims against the seller's title. It can also refer to someone who acquires real property by means other than descent, gift, or inheritance.

A more thorough explanation:

Bona fide emptor is a Latin term that means "good-faith purchaser." It refers to someone who buys something for value without knowing about any other claims to the property or any defects in the seller's title. In other words, they buy something in good faith, without any knowledge of any problems with the purchase.

For example, if you buy a used car from a dealership and later find out that the car was stolen, you may not be considered a bona fide emptor because you should have done your due diligence to make sure the car was not stolen before buying it. However, if you buy a house from someone who has a clear title to the property and later find out that there was a lien on the property, you may be considered a bona fide emptor because you had no way of knowing about the lien.

In legal terms, a bona fide emptor has a superior right to the property they purchased, even if there are other claims against the seller's title. This means that they are protected from any fraud committed by the seller against a third party.

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

@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+

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
