firm offer

Read a random definition: Maritime Law

A quick definition of firm offer:

A firm offer is a promise to sell something that cannot be changed or taken back. It is made when a seller who is a professional promises in writing to keep the offer open for a certain amount of time. This offer will only last for the time stated in the writing, or for a maximum of three months if no time is given.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A firm offer is a type of offer that cannot be revoked or withdrawn under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code. In a sale of goods, if the seller is a merchant and promises in writing to keep an offer open, a firm offer is created. This offer will only last for the period of time stated in the offer. If no time period is stated, the offer will stay open for a maximum of three months.

Example 1: A car dealership promises in writing to keep an offer to sell a car to a customer open for two weeks. This is a firm offer, and the dealership cannot revoke or withdraw the offer during that two-week period.

Example 2: A clothing manufacturer sends a written offer to a retailer to purchase a certain amount of clothing at a specific price. The offer states that it will remain open for one month. This is a firm offer, and the retailer can accept the offer at any time during that one-month period.

These examples illustrate how a firm offer works in a commercial transaction. Once a firm offer is made, the offeror cannot change their mind and revoke the offer. This provides certainty and stability for the offeree, who can rely on the offer being available for a certain period of time.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: aw of course I want you around but I was thinking of the 7sage diversity statement in their admissions course where this guy writes about how he and his wife take in foster kids. he got into NW with below median LSAT. you have significant past adversity and interesting work experience I would shoot your shot

and I honestly don't think the t14 require significantly more intellect than any other law school. the content is pretty much the same
15:44
the rigor of the T14 law schools is almost entirely the result of who they allow to attend

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

but doesn’t grade inflation at the top schools almost make it easier to get higher grades than it does at >t14

@info-man: agreed
babycat
15:48
just my opinion but grade inflation is probably more of an undergrad thing since law school grades tend to be on a curve

While representing himself in court, McKinley's sentence was reduced from 100 years to 25, a sentence he served in full. While still incarcerated, he took the LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, and applied to law school - no shit, thats impressive how much he lowered his sentence being pro say
