deforce

Read a random definition: notice to quit

A quick definition of deforce:

Deforce means to use force to keep someone from owning their land or property, or to take someone's property away from them by force. It can also mean to hold onto someone's money unfairly and forcefully. For example, if someone refuses to pay back money they owe you, they are deforcing you of your money. The word "deforciant" refers to someone who is using force to keep someone else from their property or money.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To keep lands from the true owner by means of force, to oust another from possession by means of force, or to detain a creditor's money unjustly and forcibly.

Example: In the action of debt, the plaintiff complains that the defendant unjustly deforces him of the money owed.

Explanation: The term "deforce" is used to describe situations where someone is being kept from what rightfully belongs to them through the use of force. For example, if someone is being prevented from accessing their own land by someone else who is using force to keep them out, that person is being deforced. Similarly, if a creditor is owed money by someone who is refusing to pay, that creditor is being deforced of their money. The example given shows how the term "deforce" is used in the context of an action of debt, where the plaintiff is seeking to recover money that is rightfully theirs but is being withheld by the defendant through the use of force.

starfishies
16:25
oof i see. you're going for BL presumably..?
[] c0bra1
16:25
vibes, col, and name-knowledge wise villanova seems better, but cardozo seems better for ip/entertainment offerings + the infinitesmal chance of transferring + the alumni from my undergrad who went there really liked it
starfishies
16:26
would you ever double deposit?
[] c0bra1
16:27
the only thing stopping me from double deposit is that it was strongly frowned upon or could have adverse consequences if the schools found out
[] c0bra1
16:27
if thats not a thing i would double for sure
starfishies
16:27
is that fr ive never heard that before thats kinda wild
starfishies
16:27
this cycle is crazy i feel like double deposit is warranted in a lot of cases
[] c0bra1
16:28
id be down to double to get more time to choose but i think for the factors that i listed it would be unlikely for those to change in a significant way
[] c0bra1

from what ive understood villanova's 3rd market is nyc but the philly ip market is a little small, most of the ppl i talked to had WE in tech first and thats how they got related roles in 1L/2L
[] c0bra1
16:29
they're just so similar on the balancing scale that im second guessing in case im overtly wrong on one of them...but then again all my friends say to quit whining and pick cardozo lol
starfishies
16:30
ngl still a tough decision
starfishies
16:30
but if youre trying to end up in nyc ultimately it seems like the more obvious answer
[] c0bra1
16:31
yeahh thats what it keeps boiling down to lol
[] c0bra1
16:31
i think it would be easier for me to pick nova if the col in nyc wasn't something i was ready for but that's not a problem for me
starfishies
16:31
okay money man
[] c0bra1
16:31

To me it seems that if you don't have all your responses yet (which all schools know it has been a crazy cycle), then you shouldn't be penalized if you put down a deposit, get a response from another school, and choose to go that direction. If the school is stinky about it, it seems you would have some recourse through LSAC
