A quick definition of constitutional:

Constitutional: This word describes things that follow the rules of a constitution. A constitution is like a set of rules for a country or organization. So, if something is constitutional, it means it is allowed by those rules and is fair and right.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Constitutional is an adjective that describes something that is related to a constitution or is proper and valid under a constitution.

Examples:

  • Constitutional rights: These are the rights that are protected by the constitution of a country. For example, in the United States, the First Amendment guarantees the constitutional right to freedom of speech.
  • Constitutional actions: These are actions that are allowed and in line with the constitution of a country. For example, a president's decision to veto a bill is a constitutional action because it is within their power according to the constitution.

The examples illustrate how something can be considered constitutional if it is in accordance with the laws and principles set forth in a constitution. Constitutional rights are protected by the constitution and cannot be taken away without due process. Constitutional actions are those that are allowed and within the scope of power granted by the constitution.

I have heard that generally it is good to tell the school that you are strongly interested in attending, share an offer that you have from a peer school, and talk about how a stronger scholarship offer would make it financially feasible for you to attend

@CurvyHypnoticSheepdog: scholarship is usually based on stats, check what people with your stats got from them last year
i got a great scholarship from duquesne and not a great one from pitt but I want to go to pitt
All law schools should release A/WL/R at the same time so when you get the email to check your portal it’s a surprise
