garageman's lien

Read a random definition: in suo ordine

A quick definition of garageman's lien:

A garageman's lien is when someone who works on a property, like a car mechanic, can keep possession of that property until they are paid for their services. This is a way to make sure they get paid for their work. It's not just for cars, but can be used for other types of work too. Other names for this type of lien include mechanic's lien, construction lien, and laborer's lien.

A more thorough explanation:

A garageman's lien is a type of security interest that can be obtained by someone who has provided labor or materials to a property. This lien allows the lien holder to keep possession of the property until they are paid for their services. For example, if a car owner takes their car to a mechanic for repairs but fails to pay for the services, the mechanic can hold onto the car until they receive payment.

It's important to note that a garageman's lien is not limited to automobile employees. Other professions, such as construction workers, laborers, artisans, suppliers, and design professionals, can also obtain this type of lien.

For instance, a construction worker who builds a new deck for a homeowner can place a garageman's lien on the property if the homeowner fails to pay for the work. This would allow the construction worker to keep possession of the property until they receive payment.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
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
