A quick definition of deforcement:

Deforcement is when someone keeps land or property from the true owner by using force or detains a creditor's money unjustly and forcibly. The person who does this is called a deforciant. It can also refer to withholding property from the true owner, or seizing goods to satisfy a debt.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Deforcement is the act of keeping someone from their property or money by using force or detaining it unjustly.

For example, if someone refuses to give back a piece of land that rightfully belongs to another person and uses force to keep them from taking it, that is an act of deforcement. Another example is if a creditor withholds money from a debtor without a valid reason and by using force, that is also an act of deforcement.

These examples illustrate how deforcement involves using force or unjust means to keep someone from what rightfully belongs to them. It is a violation of their rights and can lead to legal action being taken against the deforciant.

cost of living at ND should be super low, and ND punches above its weight for biglaw and clerkships - crazy strong network (not just for law---ND alumni are rabid, and when they're on your team, it's a huge plus). very much worth considering even for the Indiana- and Catholicism-phobic

I imagine it will depend a lot on whether they've already hit their goal median for this year without you? Just hazarding a guess

Notre Dame is probably being very careful about how many acceptances they send out. They were roasted a few years ago for how they handled a situation where they made too many offers.

ND (along with Stanford, iirc) historically waits on As (I think to improve their yield --> to improve their ranking). There's a UMich 3L on Reddit doing amazing visualizations of this data

ND's deposit deadline is April 15, according to Spivey's list. They likely will give different deadlines to later admits.
