implied-license doctrine

Read a random definition: juicio

A quick definition of implied-license doctrine:

The implied-license doctrine is a rule that says if someone behaves in a certain way, it can be seen as giving permission to do something. It can also mean that a law can give permission automatically in certain situations.

A more thorough explanation:

The implied-license doctrine is a legal principle that states a person's actions or conduct can be interpreted as granting permission to do something. It can also mean that a statute can provide the necessary authority for a specific action.

A person leaves their car parked in a public parking lot with the keys in the ignition. Another person sees the car and assumes that the owner has given them permission to take the car for a joyride. In this case, the owner's conduct of leaving the keys in the car can be interpreted as granting permission, even though they did not explicitly give permission.

A city ordinance allows for the use of public parks for certain activities, such as picnics and sports. While the ordinance does not explicitly state that people can use the park for birthday parties, the implied-license doctrine can be used to interpret that the ordinance provides the necessary authority for such an activity.

These examples illustrate how the implied-license doctrine can be used to interpret actions or laws in a way that grants permission or authority, even if it is not explicitly stated.

Gecko, I feel pretty good. Two of the RC passages had really tough inference questions -- hoping I narrowed down my answer choices correctly
10:38
Very happy with LR other than having to guess on a couple questions cuz of time

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I wrote mine about how all activists should be consolidated into a large smelting pot and refined down to a viscous goo

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P
11:11
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
12:03
@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

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