corporate officers

Read a random definition: Treaty Clause

A quick definition of corporate officers:

Corporate officers are the people who run a company's daily operations. They are chosen by the board of directors and usually include a president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary. Corporate officers have important responsibilities and must follow certain rules and laws. They are considered fiduciaries, which means they have three main duties: to be careful, loyal, and act in good faith.

A more thorough explanation:

Corporate officers are the people who manage a company's daily operations. They are chosen by the board of directors and their roles and number vary depending on state law and the company's articles of incorporation. Typically, there is a president (or chief executive officer), a vice president, a treasurer, and a secretary.

Corporate officers have many responsibilities related to the company, including being considered fiduciaries. This means they have three main duties: a duty of care, a duty of loyalty, and a duty of good faith. These duties are important because they help ensure that corporate officers act in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.

For example, in the case of Perry Ex Rel. Perry v. Frederick Inv. Corp., the court found that the corporate officers had breached their duty of loyalty by engaging in self-dealing. In Lloyd v. Moore, the court found that the corporate officers had breached their duty of care by failing to properly oversee the company's finances.

Overall, corporate officers play a crucial role in the success of a company and must act with integrity and in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.

I don't have a great explanation for my GPA. I was lazy and unmotivated. Now I'm not. Just believe me please. That's about it

still feels like it might be worth a shot to ED. I think duke’s ED II app deadline hasn’t passed, right?
12:41
@JumpySubsequentDolphin: you know schools that are like 350th ranked have people with 170+ lsats, right? GPA and all that does play a role and bruce is likely not getting what he wants

12:43
haha i said "like," my local school is like 300-500th depending on year and they usually have 5+ 170+ scorers

i cant imagine it hurts your application if you demonstrate purpose and direction. the problem with some kjds is they dont really know what they want with life yet
the usnews rankings don't even go down that far

Duke is pretty gpa sensitive. The most sub 3 gpa friendly T14s are gulc, uva, and now cornell

@EvolBunny: there are 198 ABA accredited schools in the US
the vast majority of 170+ are enrolling at T20's--that's the only way they keep a 170 median lmao

just claim what you want in life in applications and then it can change in law school as ur exposed to stuff
@babycat: I don't think so, assuming that you have a cohesive why law and actually did stuff in undergrad. I mean ofc your application will always be stronger given work experience, but I don't think KJD status on its own "hurts" your application.
12:45
best thing you can do as a sub 3 is clear Wash U's median and go there, which I'm going to try to do in January if I don't hear from UGA before the deadline to sign up (Dec 3)

I'm just saying this as a hypothetical. people say urm boost is the equivalent of x LSAT point increase. was just wondering if there was an equivalent kJD decrease
I think you guys think about yourselves too much. All you can do is put together a well rounded application and simply wait!
@EvolBunny: I think you just proved yourself wrong lmao. It is showing 50 percent of people with those stats getting into WashU.

@texaslawhopefully: is washu the entire t20? Or notorious for letting applicants redact gpa or lsat? Like okay i guess washu, what about the rest? Buddy literally said he is a nothing candidate except high lsat. No EC, WE, minority status, right skin color, military, in state, etc. That means he will be fucked by the t20, except maybe washu
