A quick definition of ex defectu juris:

Term: EX DEFECTU JURIS

Definition: Ex defectu juris is a legal term used in Scots law that means "from a defect in the right." It refers to a situation where a seller must guarantee a buyer against being evicted due to a defect in the seller's own right. Essentially, it means that if there is a problem with the seller's ownership of the property, the buyer is protected from being kicked out of the property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ex defectu juris is a Latin term used in Scots law, which means "from a defect in the right." It refers to the legal obligation of a seller to warrant a purchaser against eviction based on a defect in the seller's own right.

Example: If a person sells a property to another person, they must ensure that they have the legal right to sell the property. If the seller does not have the legal right to sell the property, and the purchaser is evicted from the property, the seller is responsible for compensating the purchaser for any losses incurred.

EX DEFECTU NATALIUM

Definition: Ex defectu natalium is a Latin term used in historical legal contexts, which means "from defect of parentage." It refers to a basis upon which the court rejected the will of a bastard who died without issue.

Example: In the past, if a person who was born out of wedlock died without any children, their will could be rejected by the court if there were any defects in their parentage. This means that if the person's parents were not legally married, their will could be invalidated.

These examples illustrate how the term "ex defectu" is used in legal contexts to refer to defects or flaws in legal rights or parentage that can have legal consequences.

at the berk decision lmao
@madollyy: I focus on bringing your GPA up as much as possible in the last semester because once you graduate you cannot change that. So don't study for the LSAT next semester if you think that would impair your ability to get straight A's. As for LSAT studying, I would recommend LSAT Demon (ik controversial), the Loophole, and Reading Comp Hero.
*I would focus

@texaslawhopefully: oh I’m not sure hahaha im just basing off of my friend who got a tutor bc she was rly struggling and it seemed like it helped her!
Yeah, that's fair! For some people it can help a lot. I'm just saying in general I don't think it is necessary unless you are trying to finetune a very specific area (or get to the high 170s because that is another thing in and of itself) OR are just terrible at the test. I tutor the test and I find that most people can improve just as much through self-study.

i think for her it was a lack of discipline more than anything else tbh. she could not get herself to meaningfully study on her own

I've finished all my major requirements, so I'm taking pretty much all electives next semester. Keeping one major specific class bc I'm majoring in it for a reason haha. But I'll be pretty free to study and try and improve my GPA. I will try self study first, see where that gets me. If that doesn't work I'll look into tutoring!
the way there probs won't be another wave until after thanksgiving LMFAO
i hate this

most of the stuff a tutor will teach you is stuff you can figure out yourself if you’re sufficiently motivated. if you would benefit from some support and structure tutoring can be helpful

I'm in a dual degree program that my undergraduate has where if you meet a gpa and percentile you can have your senior year be your L1 ! Cuts off a year of time and money and the partner was my top pick for law anyways. It all just worked out and since it's ED can't really apply anywhere else because the L1 transfers back to complete my degree. :)
