Simple English definitions for legal terms

de jure

Read a random definition: Secretary of Commerce

A quick definition of de jure:

De jure means something that is allowed or recognized by law. It is the opposite of de facto, which means something that exists in reality but may not be officially recognized.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: De jure is a Latin term that means "by law" or "by right." It is used to describe a practice that exists according to the law.

For example, in some countries, there may be laws that guarantee certain rights to citizens, such as the right to vote or the right to free speech. These rights exist de jure, meaning they are recognized and protected by law.

De jure is often contrasted with de facto, which refers to practices that exist in reality, but not necessarily by law. For example, while segregation was illegal in the United States de jure, it still existed de facto in many parts of the country.

@ChowieBean: yield protect?
18:23
do u guys have any recommendations for any LSAT prep websites that wont break my wallet
18:23
i rly liked powerscore! and babycat maybe yeah
18:24
ty :') ive been looking for some prep material but I've seen some where they're like $500 plus for prep material
18:25
7sage, lsatdemon, lsat hacks. check them out it seems like diff ppl have a preference. most offer free trial
babycat
18:25
7sage is $1/month if you can get fee waiver
babycat
18:26
that’s the first thing you should know. apply for a fee waiver through LSAC and it applies to some test prep companies too
@K0zhii: I would recommend LSAT Demon (they also have a fee waiver version) & the Loophole
I personally did not like 7Sage, but since it is so cheap w/ fee waiver it might be worth trying
18:34
@K0zhii: to summarize: 1: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/register-lsat/lsat-cas-fees/fee-waiver 2. check out the above mentioned prep companies, sign up/ 'try them on' and see if you have a preference (they are all a little different). 3. If you get an LSAC fee waiver, you can then use it to get discounted access to the prep companies. Hope this helps!

18:41

18:43

18:43
hey did u take the Nov lsat Chowie?
18:43
binding scares me but its the only chance at a full ride. and no i didnt i canceled
I mean it is not a bad option, unless you're shooting for HYS or something.
18:44
yeah harvard is def my dream
18:45
I believe regarding PI binding @ NYU? we came to the conclusion that: if you get it, it is binding IF u accept it, after you are admitted, chances are at that point u would know (likely) outcome @ other options. can anyone confirm?
@ChowieBean: Well if HLS is your dream, then don't apply binding somewhere else—at least I wouldn't do that.
18:47
yes i'm sure that one's binding if you accept. and yeah i probably wont bind to berkeley but i want to still write a public interest essay for them
18:54
I wish eggan jackfrost wasp bunny where here to input some knowledge since they are PI focused. texas seems right- it just really depends on the margin of utility u see in each school, if u are deadest on HLS- likely dont do anything binding to other schools?
18:56
agree i just feel like it's such a pipe dream for HLS to be dream school

19:02
I think they will send some this week. :) I read that they did send them out during the holidays last year. I specifically read Thanksgiving week was busy.

@ChowieBean: yeah you don’t need to apply ED to berk to be eligible for the scholarship, binding just means that if you accept the scholarship you have to go there
babycat
19:02
it doesn’t mean if they offer you the scholarship you have to go there, only if you accept it
19:04
wow! thank you babycat!
