A quick definition of essence, of the:

The essence of something is the most important part of it. When something is said to be "of the essence" in a contract, it means that it is so important that if it is not done on time, the contract can be cancelled. For example, if a contract says that a job must be completed by a certain date, and that date is "of the essence," it means that if the job is not done by that date, the contract can be cancelled and the person who hired the other person can find someone else to do the job.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: When a contractual requirement is so important that if it is not met, the person who made the promise will be considered to have broken the contract and the other person can cancel the contract. This is known as "of the essence".

Example: If a contractor agrees to finish building a house by a certain date, and the contract states that "time is of the essence", then if the contractor does not finish the house by that date, the homeowner can cancel the contract and hire someone else to finish the job.

This example illustrates how the phrase "of the essence" is used to emphasize the importance of meeting a specific requirement in a contract. In this case, the requirement is the deadline for completing the construction project.

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
