cooling-off rule

Read a random definition: constructive treason

A quick definition of cooling-off rule:

The cooling-off rule is a law that gives you the right to cancel a contract within a few days after signing it. This means that if you change your mind about a purchase, you can cancel it and get a full refund. The seller must tell you about this right when you make the purchase and give you a copy of the contract and a cancellation form. You have three business days to cancel the sale, and this rule applies to purchases of at least $25 made outside of the seller's normal place of business, such as at a trade show or in your home. However, it does not apply to online, mail, or telephone sales, or to certain types of purchases like insurance or art/crafts sold at fairs. Some states have their own cooling-off rules that may be similar or broader than the federal rule.

A more thorough explanation:

The Cooling-off Rule is a law that gives consumers the right to cancel a contract within a few days after signing it. This rule applies to sales, leases, or rentals of consumer goods and services that have a value of at least $25, made anywhere other than the seller's normal place of business.

For example, if you buy a vacuum cleaner from a door-to-door salesperson, you have three days to change your mind and cancel the contract. The seller must inform you of your right to cancel and provide you with a copy of the sales contract and two copies of the cancellation form. You have until midnight of the third business day after the sale to cancel.

The Cooling-off Rule applies to sales made at trade shows, conventions, and even when a salesperson makes a presentation in your home. However, it does not apply to sales made entirely online, via mail, or telephone. It also does not apply to insurance, securities, art/crafts sold at fairs, and automobiles sold directly at temporary locations such as auto shows.

Many states have laws regarding cooling-off rules, and the laws in most states resemble the federal rules. Some states have broader rules, such as Ohio, which allows cooling-off periods for sales of business opportunity plans and hearing aids in addition to the consumer goods and services covered under the federal cooling-off rule.

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+

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
