bona fide judgment creditor

Read a random definition: polygarchy

A quick definition of bona fide judgment creditor:

A bona fide judgment creditor is someone who has the legal right to make sure a court order for a specific amount of money is carried out. They are considered bona fide if they did not cheat or work with others to cheat in order to get the court order.

A more thorough explanation:

A bona fide judgment creditor is a person who has the legal right to enforce a judgment for a specific amount of money. This means that they have won a court case and are entitled to receive payment from the person who lost the case.

For example, if John sues Jane for $10,000 and wins the case, John becomes a judgment creditor. He can then enforce the judgment and collect the $10,000 from Jane. However, if John had cheated or colluded with someone to win the case, he would not be considered a bona fide judgment creditor.

Another example would be a business that wins a lawsuit against a customer who owes them money. The business becomes a bona fide judgment creditor and can use legal means to collect the debt.

In summary, a bona fide judgment creditor is someone who has rightfully won a court case and is entitled to receive payment from the losing party.

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before
Dkk
18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34

Dkk
18:35
@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.

Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough
texaslawhopefully

texaslawhopefully

TGM

TGM

I want to meet an attorney that defends clients who run into flat earth problems. I want an attorney that knows and believes in flat earth theory.
