corner

A quick definition of corner:

A corner is where two boundary lines meet. It's like a pointy angle. Sometimes, people try to control a lot of something, like a toy or a food, so they can make the price go up. This is called a corner, and it's not allowed if they do it in a sneaky or bad way.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A corner is the point where two boundary lines meet, forming an angle. It is commonly used in surveying to mark the end of two survey lines.

Examples:

  • Existent corner: A corner whose location can be verified by an original landmark, a surveyor's field notes, or other reliable evidence.
  • Lost corner: A point in a land description, such as a landmark or natural object, whose position cannot be reasonably determined from traces of the original marks or other acceptable evidence. The location can be determined by reference to one or more independent points remaining in the description.
  • Obliterated corner: A corner that can be located only with evidence other than that put in place by the original surveyor.

The examples illustrate the different types of corners that can be encountered in surveying. An existent corner is one that can be easily located and verified, while a lost corner is one that requires additional evidence to determine its location. An obliterated corner is even more difficult to locate, as it may require evidence that was not originally put in place by the surveyor.

In addition to surveying, the term corner can also refer to the acquisition of control over a commodity with the purpose of artificially enhancing its price. This is done by purchasing and selling the commodity in a way that depresses the market price, allowing the participants to purchase the commodity at a lower price and withhold it from the market for a time, thereby inflating its price. This type of corner is considered a criminal conspiracy if the means used are unlawful.

Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
