cestui que vie

Read a random definition: non solvendo pecuniam ad quam clericus

A quick definition of cestui que vie:

A cestui que vie is a person whose life is used to measure how long a trust, gift, estate, or insurance contract lasts. For example, if someone gives a piece of land to their friend E for the duration of the giver's life, the giver is the cestui que vie because their life is being used to measure how long E gets to keep the land.

A more thorough explanation:

Cestui Que Vie refers to the person whose life is used to measure the duration of a trust, gift, estate, or insurance contract. This means that the length of time that the trust, gift, estate, or insurance contract lasts is based on how long the person whose life is being measured lives.

For example, if John creates a trust for the benefit of his daughter, Jane, for the duration of Jane's life, then Jane is the cestui que vie. The trust will last as long as Jane is alive.

Another example is if Sarah takes out a life insurance policy that will pay out to her husband, Tom, for the duration of Sarah's life. In this case, Sarah is the cestui que vie. The life insurance policy will pay out to Tom as long as Sarah is alive.

Also love how he put an EO to leave the Paris climate agreement in the midst of the LA wildfires and places who haven’t gotten snow in 15 years now getting storms

I dont think so based on my very brief research
17:16
hmm I know some school offer that in their offer (I also believe KS does not negotiate) but I wonder which schools would reconsider with a condition of in state after 1L yr?

@texaslawhopefully: Not necessarily but I believe what Aristotle used to say. He used to say you could not have a functioning political system if you can not get gender relations right. Or essentially that.
KS does negotiate! I got an email saying theyre doing it for the first time this year
its rather limited but its not nothing

@HopefullyInLawSchool: noted, thanks for the intel. I know we joke around but all things conidered, KS is goated

@BigStrongBug: Nah aristotle only applies gender as a role which I think either sex could fulfill. My issue with Trump's EO to limit things to only sex but I am fine with him doing it for now.
Yeah and Aristotle old as hell boy he would’ve died of hysteria after learning what the internet and tiktok is

@SplitterusClitterus: I think some school shootings could have been prevented if gender relations were better.
Very few of any,, none come to my mind tbh

@llama: hi

Not mental health regarding gender and usually it’s a gun kids get right in the house

@SplitterusClitterus: Well, I would say almost every one of them. Either due to more stable households, community connections or even better treatment of those going through divorced and whatnot. Almost every shooter has at least one of these elements included with their reasons for killing.

@Dkk: No. Aristotle said the family was the fundamental political unit, which is different than what you're saying. But, more to the point, the American political system exists vis-a-vis to 17/18th century political thought, or classical liberalism. Of which the central assumption is that the highest end is social choice.
