Simple English definitions for legal terms

dos rationabilis

Read a random definition: payout ratio

A quick definition of dos rationabilis:

Dos Rationabilis: This is a legal term that refers to a wife's right to a life estate in one-third of the land that her husband owned in fee upon his death. This means that if a husband dies, his wife has the right to live on and use one-third of the land that he owned. In some states, this right has been expanded to include all the land that the husband owned. This right cannot be taken away from the wife by any transfer made by her husband during his lifetime.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dos rationabilis refers to a wife's right, under common law, to a life estate in one-third of the land that her husband owned in fee upon his death. This is also known as dower.

For example, if a husband owned a piece of land in fee and passed away, his wife would have the right to live on and use one-third of that land for the rest of her life.

While many states have abolished dower, some still retain the concept and have expanded the wife's share to a life estate in all the land that her husband owned in fee.

This concept is important because it provides some financial security for a wife in the event of her husband's death, ensuring that she has a place to live and some resources to support herself.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
soapy

Or another essay?
