A quick definition of compromis:

Term: Compromis

Definition: A compromis is an agreement between two or more countries to let someone else decide how to solve a problem they have. This person could be an arbitrator, a group of arbitrators, or an international court. There are two types of compromis: ad hoc compromis, which is when countries agree to let someone else decide on a specific problem they have, and general compromis, which is when countries agree to let someone else decide on any problem they might have in the future.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Compromis is a French term used in international law to refer to an agreement between two or more countries to submit an existing dispute to the jurisdiction of an arbitrator, an arbitral tribunal, or an international court.

Examples:

  • An ad hoc compromis is an agreement in which countries submit a particular dispute that has arisen between them to an ad hoc or institutionalized arbitral tribunal or to an international court. For example, if two countries have a disagreement over a border dispute, they may agree to submit the issue to an international court for resolution.
  • A general compromis is an agreement in which countries submit all or a definite class of disputes that may arise between them to an arbitral institution, a court, or an ad hoc arbitral tribunal by concluding a general arbitration treaty or by including an arbitration clause in a treaty. For example, two countries may agree to include an arbitration clause in a trade agreement to resolve any disputes that may arise in the future.

The examples illustrate how countries can use compromis to resolve disputes between them. By agreeing to submit a dispute to an arbitrator, tribunal, or court, they can avoid the need for costly and time-consuming litigation and reach a resolution that is acceptable to both parties.

and I honestly don't think the t14 require significantly more intellect than any other law school. the content is pretty much the same
15:44
the rigor of the T14 law schools is almost entirely the result of who they allow to attend

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

@info-man: agreed

15:48
just my opinion but grade inflation is probably more of an undergrad thing since law school grades tend to be on a curve

While representing himself in court, McKinley's sentence was reduced from 100 years to 25, a sentence he served in full. While still incarcerated, he took the LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, and applied to law school - no shit, thats impressive how much he lowered his sentence being pro say
