duty-free

Read a random definition: body

A quick definition of duty-free:

Duty-free means that products from other countries can be sold without extra taxes. This makes them cheaper for people to buy when they travel or shop in airports or on ships.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Duty-free refers to products that are imported or exported without any taxes or duties being applied to them. This means that the products can be sold at a lower price than they would be if taxes were added.

Example 1: When you travel to another country, you may be able to buy duty-free items at the airport. This could include things like alcohol, perfume, or electronics. Because these items are not subject to taxes, they may be cheaper than they would be in a regular store.

Example 2: A company may choose to import goods duty-free in order to save money. For example, if a clothing company imports fabric from another country without paying duties, they can make their clothes at a lower cost. This could allow them to sell their clothes at a lower price than their competitors.

The examples illustrate the definition of duty-free by showing how products can be sold at a lower price when taxes are not applied. In both examples, the products are imported or exported without any taxes or duties being added, which allows them to be sold at a lower cost. This can benefit both consumers and businesses by making products more affordable or allowing companies to save money on production costs.

Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol

what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?

Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
