cognate nuisance

Read a random definition: IBID.

A quick definition of cognate nuisance:

A cognate nuisance is a type of nuisance that interferes with the use or enjoyment of property. This can include things like loud noises or foul odors that persistently affect adjacent land or public highways. Liability may or may not arise from the situation, but it can be considered a tort if it is conducted intentionally. Essentially, a nuisance is a state of affairs that can be a right thing in the wrong place, like a pig in a parlor instead of a barnyard.

A more thorough explanation:

A cognate nuisance is a type of nuisance. A nuisance is a condition, activity, or situation that interferes with the use or enjoyment of property. It can be a persistent activity or non-transitory condition that either injures the physical condition of adjacent land or interferes with its use or with the enjoyment of easements on the land or of public highways.

For example, if a factory emits a foul odor that makes it difficult for people to breathe or enjoy their property, it can be considered a nuisance. Similarly, if a neighbor plays loud music late at night, it can also be considered a nuisance.

The term "cognate" means related or connected. In the context of nuisance, a cognate nuisance is a type of nuisance that is related to or connected with another nuisance. For example, if a factory emits a foul odor that causes damage to nearby crops, it can be considered a cognate nuisance.

Overall, a cognate nuisance is a type of nuisance that is related to or connected with another nuisance. It can cause damage to nearby property or interfere with the use and enjoyment of that property.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
more likely than not you make it into at least one t14
15:14
Hey long time no see hahaha, the prob with that is it has the range of up to 172, Im only 170
15:14
If u have the top range at my stats, there's only like 9 ppl who made it into T14s
yeah but it's also including people below your stats
15:15
Yeah, really my issue is deciding whether to R&R or to just take UF law
also if you reduce the top end of lsat to 170, you have a 33% chance at NYU+columbia, 67% at NU, 33 at mich, 40% berk, 40% UCLA, 100% Cornell, and 50% gulc
realistically you would make it into at least one
15:16
I'm still waiting on a bunch of T14 so hopefully those stats are a good indicator
15:16
idk wait it out - if good offer take if no good offer R&R
i dont think you need to R&R im pretty sure you make it into at least one t14
but if you apply earlier its just a lot easier
15:17
thats odd I didn't see those stats, but ok. We talked abt this awhile back and I'm working on Columbia + Berkeley rn then Cornell, probs is I'm not gonna produce good Why X's before the 25th but whatever
https://www.lsd.law/search/cV9E6 this is artificially deflated because it's only below your stats
someone got into harvard and chicago with your stats
15:19
Why is that deflating it? isnt that a better indicator instead of choosing above median LSATs? Genuinely curious just wondering
when stats are close because of the variability you want a little above your stats and a little below to get more data, adcoms arent so finnicky that 2 points on the lsat is make or break unless it puts you above median, and even then 50% are below median so it's not as big of an impact as you might think. the reason the chanceme tool goes a little above and below your stats by default is to capture a more accurate picture
ie your softs/WE/essays might make you more or less competitive than any random applicant and the best way to account for that is to take a little above and a little below
15:21
got it, I was of the mindset that medians are pretty concrete so taking a +2 LSAT score range was just giving me irrelevant data. Thank you
15:21
Def my softs/essays are the strongest part of my application so hoping they shine through
they kind of are but you see with the data here is doesnt really change your chances going from 172 to 170
yeah youll be in a good place for this cycle
15:22
yeah I guess thats true, I've also been looking at "Included" not "Only" for URM so maybe that's a diff too
15:22
Appreciate it man!
yeah included is giving you data for nURM which isnt relevant for your cycle
and ofc, good luck :)
