instrument of appeal

Read a random definition: dissignare

A quick definition of instrument of appeal:

An instrument of appeal was a document used in English law to challenge a decision made by a judge in a divorce case. It was used to ask a higher court to review the decision and make a new one. This practice ended in 1881 when appeals were taken to a different court instead.

A more thorough explanation:

An instrument of appeal was a document used in English law to appeal a judgment of divorce made by a trial judge of the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division to the full panel of the court. It was used until 1881 when appeals were taken to the Court of Appeal instead of the full panel of the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division.

For example, if a couple got divorced and one party was unhappy with the decision made by the trial judge, they could file an instrument of appeal to have the case reviewed by the full panel of the court.

This term is important because it shows how the legal system has evolved over time. The use of the instrument of appeal was replaced by a more efficient process, which allowed for quicker resolution of cases.

vibes, col, and name-knowledge wise villanova seems better, but cardozo seems better for ip/entertainment offerings + the infinitesmal chance of transferring + the alumni from my undergrad who went there really liked it

would you ever double deposit?
[] c0bra1
16:27
the only thing stopping me from double deposit is that it was strongly frowned upon or could have adverse consequences if the schools found out
[] c0bra1
16:27
if thats not a thing i would double for sure
starfishies
16:27
is that fr ive never heard that before thats kinda wild
starfishies
16:27
this cycle is crazy i feel like double deposit is warranted in a lot of cases
[] c0bra1
16:28
id be down to double to get more time to choose but i think for the factors that i listed it would be unlikely for those to change in a significant way

from what ive understood villanova's 3rd market is nyc but the philly ip market is a little small, most of the ppl i talked to had WE in tech first and thats how they got related roles in 1L/2L

16:29
they're just so similar on the balancing scale that im second guessing in case im overtly wrong on one of them...but then again all my friends say to quit whining and pick cardozo lol
starfishies
16:30
ngl still a tough decision
starfishies
16:30
but if youre trying to end up in nyc ultimately it seems like the more obvious answer
[] c0bra1
16:31
yeahh thats what it keeps boiling down to lol
[] c0bra1
16:31
i think it would be easier for me to pick nova if the col in nyc wasn't something i was ready for but that's not a problem for me
starfishies
16:31
okay money man
[] c0bra1
16:31

starfishies
16:31

To me it seems that if you don't have all your responses yet (which all schools know it has been a crazy cycle), then you shouldn't be penalized if you put down a deposit, get a response from another school, and choose to go that direction. If the school is stinky about it, it seems you would have some recourse through LSAC

swag yeah thats cool i think ill most likely just deposit at dozo to save myself the constant back-and-forth on the decision -- i dont think ive had a conversation yet where i end up choosing nova despite my best to advocate for it lol
[] c0bra1
17:55
like i said earlier i think if the col was an issue for me id probably pick nova but my heart has always been set on ny and i think id be fine over there
