A quick definition of in haec verba:

Term: in haec verba

Definition: In haec verba means "in these words" in Latin. It is used to refer to the exact language of an agreement or document, without attaching a copy of it. For example, in a legal case, if a forged document is being discussed, it should be set out in the indictment in its tenor, "in haec verba." If the document is lost or in the possession of the accused, this can be explained, and the substance of the document will be acceptable.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In haec verba is a Latin phrase that means "in these words." It is used to refer to the exact language of an agreement or document, word for word.

For example, in a legal case, a lawyer might use the phrase "in haec verba" to indicate that they are quoting the exact words of a contract or agreement. This is often done instead of attaching a copy of the document to the complaint or pleading.

One example of the use of "in haec verba" in a legal context is in the case of Harris v. State. In this case, a Texas court held that in cases of forgery, it is important to set out the alleged forged instrument in the indictment in its tenor, "in haec verba." This means that the exact language of the forged document should be included in the indictment, if possible. If the document is lost or in the possession of the accused, this fact can be alleged instead.

Another example of the use of "in haec verba" might be in a contract dispute. If one party is claiming that the other party violated the terms of a contract, they might quote the exact language of the contract using the phrase "in haec verba" to show that the other party did not fulfill their obligations.

Overall, "in haec verba" is a useful phrase for indicating that the exact language of a document or agreement is being quoted, rather than paraphrased or summarized.

I heard Wyte Claws are outlawed on law school campuses since there are no laws when drinkin claws, hence they defeat the purpose of learning law, is that true?

@HeadyInvincibleRabbit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/comments/1jt3hdb/share_of_lsdata_users_that_have_heard_back_from/ Re 87% in that time frame have heard back (of LSD users). So figure 70% of BC applicants use LSD, I would say there is a decent chance you will hear back hopefully soon. IG from the school chat on here there was a recent R wave, so if that was not you, that is a plus
@llama thanks bro just tryna stay positive
in addition to formal LOCIs that I attach to emails, i can also send shorter emails closer to deposit deadlines to express my continued interest, right??
20:29
@HeadyInvincibleRabbit: LOCIs every 4 weeks if you are wait listed is what I have been told. On schools you have not heard from, I have also heard you should not contact them. I disagree: admittance is a binary event [with infinite inputs like ur gpa, lsat, how the adcom is feeling that day, if they like u for whatever reason outside of your control] : you get in or you do not, so if by u emailing them a few times to express your continued interest/ if you have a question, I do not see the issue with that. However, someone else here may say otherwise. Take what I say with a micro grain tho lol
