gree

Read a random definition: grassum

A quick definition of gree:

Gree is a word that comes from Law French and means satisfaction for someone who has been hurt or wronged. It's like saying sorry and making things right. For example, if you accidentally broke your friend's toy, giving them a new one would be a gree. It's a way to make things better and show that you care.

A greenback is a type of money in the United States. It's a special kind of paper money that is accepted everywhere and can be used to buy things. The name comes from the fact that the back of the paper money is printed in green ink. So, if you ever see a green piece of paper with numbers and pictures on it, it's probably a greenback!

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Gree (pronounced "gree") is a legal term that refers to a satisfaction or compensation received by a person who has been wronged or injured by another party. It comes from the French word "gree," which means good liking or satisfaction.

For example, if someone is injured in a car accident and the other driver is found to be at fault, the injured person may receive a gree in the form of a settlement or compensation for their medical expenses and other damages.

Definition: Greenback is a slang term for a type of paper currency issued by the United States government that is considered legal tender. The term was first used in 1862 when the backs of American paper currency were first printed in green ink.

For example, if you go to a store and pay for your purchase with a $20 bill, you are using a greenback. Any note issued by a federal reserve bank is also considered a greenback.

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol

12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI
