claim-jumping

Read a random definition: unfriendly suitor

A quick definition of claim-jumping:

Claim-jumping is when someone tries to take over someone else's mining area or claim. This can happen by extending their own claim borders or by filing a duplicate claim to take advantage of a mistake in the original claim.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Claim-jumping is when someone extends the borders of their mining claim to take over other areas or claims that belong to someone else. It can also refer to filing a duplicate claim to take advantage of a mistake in the original claim.

Example 1: A miner discovers a rich vein of gold on their mining claim. They then extend the borders of their claim to include the neighboring claim, which belongs to another miner.

Example 2: A miner files a claim for a piece of land that has already been claimed by someone else. They do this because they know that the original claim has a mistake in it, which they can use to their advantage.

These examples illustrate how claim-jumping involves taking over someone else's property or using deceitful tactics to gain control of a mining claim. It is illegal and can lead to disputes and legal action.

"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?

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

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

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
