habere facias seisinam

Read a random definition: contra omnes gentes

A quick definition of habere facias seisinam:

Habere facias seisinam is a legal term that means "that you cause to have seisin." It is a writ of execution that commands the sheriff to give the applicant seisin of the recovered land. Seisin, on the other hand, refers to possession of a freehold estate in land or ownership. It is the completion of the ceremony of feudal investiture, by which the tenant was admitted into freehold.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Habere facias seisinam is a legal term that means "that you cause to have seisin." It refers to a writ of execution that commands the sheriff to give the applicant seisin of the recovered land. This writ was the proper process for giving seisin of a freehold, as distinguished from giving only a chattel interest in land.

Example: If a person wins a lawsuit over a piece of land, they may use a habere facias seisinam writ to ensure that they receive full ownership and possession of the land.

This legal term is important because it distinguishes between different types of ownership and possession of land. It specifically refers to the process of giving seisin of a freehold estate in land, which is a type of ownership that grants the owner full possession and control of the land. This is different from a chattel interest in land, which only grants the owner a limited right to use the land for a specific purpose.

Funniest shit about Oppenheimer to me was some chick at the end of the movie saying dead serious to her boyfriend "That movie was kinda boring, I wish there were more explosions". Like she wanted us to bomb Japan harder or something. It was such an awkward thing to say and it made me laugh.

UCI hella liberal and trans. I think you would like it. More liberal than like Berk and UCLA if you can imagine. @Eggan

I did astrophysics for 3 years and hated it. Dropped out of my first college cus of it. @limpweeny

Do not recommend studying physics. Super boring, a lot of math, and most results are not replicable.

Ill say this though. I studied a lot of Otto Hahn and was happy to see him at the start of Oppenheimer. Made a little appearance. Nice tribute.

@Dkk: i know the makeup of UCI but im not from california and i didn't like how i'd have to be isolated from the labor movement since it's not very close to LA and OC is mostly a bunch of rich people tbh
19:09
i like berk's proximity to san francisco. the bay area is full of surprises when it comes to labor
19:11
thats why i'm mostly centered on cities with major labor activity this cycle (besides chicago) such as NYC, boston DC (where the union headquarters usually are)
19:11
Anyone else hella concerned w the uptick in applicants? Not sure if I can use the LSD data of the past to reference
some dean said they're only expecting 5-15% increase over the whole cycle, still not great, but not 30% like currently
19:15
Ohhh okay thank goodness. I saw +38% and lowk got scared
19:16
That doesn’t seem too bad if they increase class size by a bit 🙏

Ahh that is true but OC Disney Unions. Can always be involved in those. Some of the biggest unions in California. I was part of that for a couple years but my union was corrupt. @Eggan

Berk is definitely more fun. Unions in LA are of course the screen actors guild and then hospitality stuff like restaurants. It will be good wherever you go imo if that is what you are into.

@sadpadresfan: yeah, Spivey said the same thing wasp pointed out. 30% to start to 15% at the end. I think part of it may also be people just want more variety. Maybe a similar amount of applicants but more variety. More waitlist movement potentially this year. Schools fighting harder for people.
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: the NU dean. Him and Spivey did a podcast on it.
And if you look at the numbers they're starting to come down. A couple weeks ago we were up 36 percent up, now we're only 26 percent up.

@texaslawhopefully: if you are trying to do texas law, why not go to UT Austin. Probably better scholarships for you compared to Harvard and its a pipeline. Unless, of course, scholarships don't matter in your case.
i studied hard stem but i just hate being in an actual lab lol
depends on the type of lab work that you do, the only thing i did enjoy doing was bacterial genetics because that shit is super fast and fun, but working in a wet lab is just a lottttt of sitting and waiting around
hence law, lmao
@NotJustALawyer: I'm trying to do an appellate clerkship and the very top schools just have better placement. And yes, I'm still considering UT, but I think with my numbers I can get scholarship money at most of the T14.
