expository jurisprudence

Read a random definition: Fourth Amendment

A quick definition of expository jurisprudence:

Expository jurisprudence is the study of the fundamental elements of a legal system, focusing on what the law is and how it works. It is a scholarly way of explaining the contents of a legal system as it exists or existed in the past. This is different from practical details of how the law is applied in specific cases. It helps us understand the purpose of law, where it comes from, and how it works in society.

A more thorough explanation:

Expository jurisprudence is the scholarly study of the contents of an actual legal system as it exists or once existed. It is also known as systematic jurisprudence. This branch of legal philosophy focuses on the fundamental elements of a particular legal system, as opposed to its practical and concrete details.

For example, a legal scholar studying the United States legal system would engage in expository jurisprudence by analyzing the fundamental principles and concepts that underlie the system, such as the separation of powers, due process, and equal protection under the law.

Another example would be a legal scholar studying the ancient Roman legal system, which no longer exists. They would engage in expository jurisprudence by analyzing the fundamental principles and concepts that underlay the Roman legal system, such as the Twelve Tables and the concept of natural law.

Overall, expository jurisprudence is concerned with understanding the underlying principles and concepts of a legal system, rather than the practical application of those principles in specific cases.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
soapy

Or another essay?
