A quick definition of excussio:

Term: EXCUSSIO

Definition: Excussio is a legal term that refers to the process of trying to get back money owed by a debtor. It means that the creditor must first try to collect the debt from the person who originally borrowed the money before going after any guarantors or co-signers. This is done to ensure that the debtor is held responsible for their debt before anyone else is held accountable.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Excussio is a Latin term used in Roman and civil law. It refers to the process of pursuing a remedy against a debtor by exhausting all possible options before turning to a surety.

Let's say that John owes $10,000 to a bank and has a surety named Jane. The bank cannot immediately go after Jane for the money owed by John. Instead, the bank must first pursue all possible options to collect the debt from John. This includes taking legal action against John, seizing his assets, and garnishing his wages. Only after all of these options have been exhausted can the bank turn to Jane, the surety, for payment.

Another example could be a landlord who has a tenant that owes rent. The landlord cannot immediately go after the tenant's guarantor for payment. Instead, the landlord must first pursue all possible options to collect the rent from the tenant. This includes sending notices, filing a lawsuit, and obtaining a judgment. Only after all of these options have been exhausted can the landlord turn to the guarantor for payment.

These examples illustrate the concept of excussio, which requires a diligent pursuit of a remedy against a debtor before resorting to a surety.

Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
