A quick definition of de identitate nominis:

Term: DE IDENTITATE NOMINIS

Definition: De identitate nominis is a legal term that refers to a writ used in the past to free a person who was mistakenly arrested and imprisoned because they shared the same name with someone else. This writ was used to prove that the person in question was not the same as the one who committed the crime and to secure their release from custody.

A more thorough explanation:

De identitate nominis is a Latin term used in law that means "of identity of name." It refers to a writ that is used to free a person who has been mistakenly arrested and imprisoned because they share the same name as someone else who is wanted by the law.

This writ is used to prove that the person who has been arrested is not the same person who is wanted by the law, and therefore should be released from custody.

For example, if there are two people with the same name, and one of them is wanted by the law, the other person may be mistakenly arrested and imprisoned because they share the same name. In this case, the person who has been wrongly arrested can use the writ of de identitate nominis to prove that they are not the same person who is wanted by the law, and should be released from custody.

Another example would be if a person is mistakenly arrested and imprisoned because their name is similar to the name of someone who is wanted by the law. In this case, the person who has been wrongly arrested can use the writ of de identitate nominis to prove that they are not the same person who is wanted by the law, and should be released from custody.

These examples illustrate how the writ of de identitate nominis is used to free a person who has been mistakenly arrested and imprisoned because of a mistaken identity.

Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet
18:46
How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.
18:50
I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
Just found out LSAC gpa is different from offical from undergrad, went from 3.0 on 4.0 scale to 2.67... Guess I'm a super splitter rather than a splitter
just submitted my first ever app! and now I am consumed by The Dread
23:55
@SassyLearnedSquid: congrats
23:56
@OppositeEarlyCorgi: yep, fuckin sucks. My community college is scalled down by LSAC so I go from a 3.77 to a 3.44 or some shit like that.
23:58
My community college didn't have the A+ grade and only A's at 4.0 so there are classes I know I got an A+ in and should have a 4.0 but LSAC sees it as a 3.7 or whatever.
23:58
Idk, hard to describe.
23:59
My bad, should have had 4.33 but LSAC sees it as 4.0
