durational-residency requirement

Read a random definition: failure to state a claim

A quick definition of durational-residency requirement:

A durational-residency requirement is when someone has to live in a certain place for a certain amount of time before they can do something, like vote. This has been found to be unfair because it can stop people from being able to exercise their right to vote and travel freely.

A more thorough explanation:

A durational-residency requirement is a rule that requires a person to be a resident of a particular state for a specific period before they can exercise a particular right or privilege. For example, some states require that a person must live in the state for at least one year before they can receive in-state tuition rates at a public university.

However, when this requirement is applied to voting, it has been found to be unconstitutional. This is because it places an unfair burden on a person's right to vote and their fundamental right to travel.

For instance, if a state requires that a person must live in the state for two years before they can vote in a state election, this would be considered unconstitutional. This is because it would prevent people who have recently moved to the state from being able to vote, even though they may have a legitimate interest in the outcome of the election.

Overall, durational-residency requirements can be used to restrict certain rights and privileges, but they must be carefully evaluated to ensure that they do not violate a person's constitutional rights.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
