discontinuing easement

Read a random definition: white book

A quick definition of discontinuing easement:

An easement is when someone has the right to use someone else's land for a specific purpose, like to cross it to get to a road. The land that benefits from the easement is called the dominant estate, and the land burdened by the easement is called the servient estate. There are different types of easements, like a right-of-way or a right to water. Easements can last forever, but they don't give the holder the right to own or sell the land.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A discontinuing easement is a type of easement that can only be enjoyed if the party claiming it deliberately acts in some way with regard to the servient estate. Examples of discontinuing easements include a right-of-way and the right to draw water.

Examples: A property owner may have a discontinuing easement to cross a neighboring property to access a public road. Another example is a property owner who has the right to draw water from a well located on a neighboring property. In both cases, the easement can only be enjoyed if the property owner takes deliberate action to exercise their right.

Explanation: Discontinuing easements are different from continuous easements, which can be enjoyed without a deliberate act by the party claiming it. Discontinuing easements require the property owner to take some action to exercise their right, such as crossing the neighboring property or drawing water from a well. These examples illustrate how a property owner can have a legal right to use a neighboring property for a specific purpose, but only if they take deliberate action to exercise that right.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to

but that's literally just going off vibes
it looks like Berk vid is in response to a known prompt. My thinking is it may be a counter to AI by getting people to have to respond to what is essentially an essay prompt but on video
