Simple English definitions for legal terms

concur

Read a random definition: constructive contract

A quick definition of concur:

Term: CONCUR

Definition: Concur means to agree or give permission. It can also mean to agree with a decision made by someone else, like a judge or another group. In government, it can mean that one group accepts a change made by another group. In some situations, it can mean that people join together to ask for something they are owed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To agree or consent. In a judicial opinion, to agree with the judgment in the case, or the opinion of another judge, but often for different reasons or through a different line of reasoning. In a bicameral legislature, to accept an amendment passed by the other house. In civil law, to join with other claimants in presenting a demand against an insolvent estate.

  • After much discussion, the board members finally concurred on the new policy.
  • In the Supreme Court's decision, Justice Smith concurred with the majority opinion, but wrote a separate opinion explaining her reasoning.
  • The Senate passed a bill with amendments, and now it's up to the House of Representatives to concur with the changes.
  • Several creditors concurred in filing a claim against the bankrupt company's estate.

The examples illustrate different contexts in which the term "concur" can be used. In the first example, board members come to an agreement on a new policy. In the second example, a judge agrees with the majority opinion but provides a different explanation. In the third example, one house of a legislature accepts changes made by the other house. In the fourth example, creditors join together to make a claim against a bankrupt company's estate.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
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 :)
