A quick definition of causa data causa non secuta:

CAUSA DATA CAUSA NON SECUTA: This is a Latin term used in Roman law. It means that someone has given something in exchange for something else, but they did not receive what they were promised. For example, if someone paid for work to be done, but the work was never completed, they could use this term to try to get their money back. It's like buying a toy from a store, but the store never gives you the toy. You would want your money back, right? That's what this term is all about.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Causa data causa non secuta is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to a situation where consideration has been given, but the counterpart has not followed. It is used in cases where payment has been made for work that has not been done or a gift given in anticipation of marriage that did not happen.

Example: An example of causa data causa non secuta is when a person pays an advance for a service that is not delivered. For instance, if a person pays for a car repair service, but the mechanic does not fix the car, the person can sue the mechanic for causa data causa non secuta.

This term is related to another legal term called condictio, which is a personal action in the nature of demanding something back. Condictio is used to recover money or property that has been transferred without consideration or in contemplation of a specific event that did not occur.

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol

12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI

[] baddestbunny
16:01
They make the Yale app a lot of work to filter out the people who don’t really want it like that
16:25
