A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Contra hereditatem jacentem (pronounced kon-truh huh-red-i-tay-tuhm juh-sen-tuhm) is a Latin legal term that means "against a fallen inheritance." It refers to a situation where a creditor has the right to go after a debtor's estate to recover a debt, even if the heir has not taken up the inheritance.

Example: Let's say that John owes a debt to a creditor, but he passes away before he can pay it off. John's son, who is his legal heir, decides not to take up the inheritance because he knows that his father's estate is not worth much. However, the creditor can still pursue John's estate to recover the debt, even though the heir has not taken up the inheritance. This is an example of contra hereditatem jacentem.

This legal concept is important because it allows creditors to recover debts even if the debtor's estate is not worth much or if the heir decides not to take up the inheritance. It ensures that creditors are not left empty-handed and that debts are paid off as much as possible.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
