A quick definition of individual liberty:

Individual liberty means that people have the right to do what they want without someone else telling them what to do. This includes things like being able to choose your job, get married, and practice your religion. However, sometimes the government has to make rules to keep people safe and healthy. This is called regulating the public health, safety, and welfare. People also have the right to participate in government and vote for their leaders. They also have the right to express their religious beliefs without someone else controlling them.

A more thorough explanation:

Individual liberty refers to the freedom that a person has to act and make choices without undue external restraint, especially by the government. It is a right, privilege, or immunity that a person enjoys by prescription or by grant. This means that a person has the right to do what they want as long as it does not harm others or go against the law.

For example, a person has the liberty to express their opinions, worship according to their beliefs, marry, establish a home, and bring up children. They also have the liberty to engage in any of the common occupations of life and acquire useful knowledge. However, this liberty is limited by the government's right to regulate public health, safety, and welfare.

Another example of individual liberty is the freedom to participate in the operation of the government, especially in elections and in the making and administration of laws. This is known as political liberty.

Religious liberty is also a form of individual liberty. It is the freedom to express any or no system of religious opinion and to engage in or refrain from any form of religious observance or public or private religious worship, as long as it is consistent with the peace and order of society.

Overall, individual liberty is an essential aspect of a free society. It allows people to pursue their own happiness and live their lives as they see fit, as long as they do not harm others or go against the law.

i know its hard to know because I haven't taken LSAT yet, but Im going to graduate with a 3.4. Idk if id write an addendum for my gpa because i just slacked off for a lot of college unfortunately. Plan is to start studying for lsat in October, and then take a gap year to get WE. T14 isn't even on my radar, but from people who know and understand the admission process better probably, am i cooked at even getting into a T50. I know lsat score is huge but reading people get rejected while having 3.8+ is anxiety inducing

@Sagamore: you can do applicant search to get closer results but there are plenty of ppl with a 3.3-3
23:25
3.4 that got into t50s-t20s (sorry i pressed send early)
23:26
i would just focus on maximizing ur lsat score
we always talk about fo pm but never about fo am
oooo
@Sagamore: I will make my main account unprivated because I like you. @MrThickRopees you are the new Dkkm10 whether you like it or not because you were the first to offer advice. I have been watching to see if anyone would offer advice. That's my whole modus operandi. My assgraduated with a 3.44 and I am essentially attending William & Mary law. TBH what you outlined is a better plan than what I did. I quit my job at Disney in june of 2023 to study for the LSAT. I took 3 months to study and took the september 2023 LSAT and got a 157. I then studied for the November LSAT and got a 155 cus I fucked around doing Fiat Lux classes at UCLA. Let me say this, if you are like me, you need at least 6 months of prep. In totality, I spent almost only 6 months of actual studying to go from a diagnostic of 143 -> 168. I would not put a T14 on your radar. A T14 is for people who do not have a 3.4 GPA. You are not cooked getting into a T50. LSAT is huge but it you have to think about the type of
In addition to my story, I took the month of december to fuck around and study for the LSAT only to get a 158. It took 3 months of dedicated study to go from 158 -> 168 during July to October of 2024. Yeah, you will see people with higher LSAT's and big ass GPA's get rejected from T14's. You have the right mentality of wanting to get into a T50 law school. Lawyers don't do much with their careers outside of T50. I would say you need at least a 165+ for a T50 and to apply early. It used to be 165+ for a T14 but times have changed. ASU is honestly as low as I would go at 165 so shoot for 165+ on the LSAT. If you can get that, you are at least going to have a semblance of a career. The T14 grind is different. It's no longer about your grades or your status within some law firm but a dedicated drive to be an abolsute killer. To be someone who has faced adversity and completely fucked adversity up. Sure some schools will accept you if you apple early with good stats, but a 3.4 can only ge
get you so far. I know this is a lot of work but use this website to see what schools will even consider someone with a 3.4 GPA because most T14's won't. Take this time to realize hey, UPenn only wanted 4 people with a 3.4 GPA. It aint worth it in your personal life to get a 172 to go there. UCLA only accepted 6 people with a 171. Just be content knowing your odds at a T14 are almost 0% but, T14 attorney's don't necessarily end up in fed clerks, they don't do dream PI, they never start their own businesses. They generally suck. They present themselves as killers but when push comes to shove they really are not. They end up becoming corporate drones for big law.
Which is not bad, but they hate it. Anyways, I would figure out exactly what you want to do in law because it's apparent to anyone who has done their research, the most successful attorneys, only maybe 50% of them go to T14's max. The rest of them work their way up through a little thing called clerkships. You can have great success outside of the T14's if you know what to do. Other than that, you might end up drinking Napa Cab out of a big gulp cup saying "life in the big city" and you live nowhere near a god damn city. As I said before, I will make my main account unprivated. Can always check @blockdaemon for accurate info.
@windyMagician: We used to call these 4 PM hours real, uhhh...... Dkk hours..... yeah uhhh no N words.

I'm saying, idealism ends there. If you don't have a healthy dose of cynicism, life usually ends there. His kids hadn't spoken to him in 5 years. They called him once and he was so drunk his kids said " I think I am going to go..." - Life in the big city.
