A quick definition of due course, payment in:

Due Course, Payment In: When someone owes you money and they pay you at the right time, it's called payment in due course. This means they paid you when they were supposed to and didn't know of any problems with your right to receive the payment. It's like when you borrow a toy from a friend and promise to give it back in a week. If you give it back on time and your friend doesn't know of any problems with the toy, then you returned it in due course.

A more thorough explanation:

Due course, payment in: A payment made to the holder of a negotiable instrument at or after its maturity date, by the payor in good faith and without knowledge of any defects in the holder's title. This is also known as payment in due course.

Example 1: John owes Jane $500 and writes her a check. Jane deposits the check into her bank account. When the check clears, the bank pays Jane the $500. This is an example of payment in due course because the bank paid Jane in good faith and without knowledge of any defects in her title to the check.

Example 2: Sarah buys a used car from Tom and pays him with a cashier's check. Tom deposits the check into his bank account. A few days later, the bank informs Tom that the check was fraudulent and takes the $10,000 out of his account. This is not an example of payment in due course because the bank did not pay Tom in good faith and with knowledge of a defect in Sarah's title to the check.

Payment in due course means that the payor (the person making the payment) pays the holder of a negotiable instrument (such as a check or promissory note) in good faith and without knowledge of any defects in the holder's title. This protects the payor from being held responsible if there are any issues with the instrument's ownership or validity. The examples illustrate this concept by showing how payment in due course protects the payor from being held responsible for any defects in the holder's title.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+

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
