internal sovereignty

Read a random definition: systematic violation

A quick definition of internal sovereignty:

Internal sovereignty refers to the power that a government has within its own territory and the ability to exercise control over its citizens. It is the supreme political authority of an independent state and includes the power to make decisions and enforce laws within its borders. This is different from external sovereignty, which is the power to deal with other national governments on behalf of the state. In simpler terms, internal sovereignty is the power a government has to govern its own people and make decisions for its own country.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Internal sovereignty refers to the power that a government entity of a sovereign state has over its own affairs within its territory and the exercise of external sovereignty.

Example: The United States government has internal sovereignty over its own affairs within its territory, such as the power to make and enforce laws, regulate commerce, and provide for the common defense. This power is granted by the Constitution and is separate from the power to deal with other national governments, which is known as external sovereignty.

Explanation: Internal sovereignty is an essential aspect of a sovereign state's power. It allows the government to make decisions and enforce laws within its own territory without interference from other nations. The example of the United States government illustrates how internal sovereignty is granted by the Constitution and is separate from the power to deal with other nations, which is known as external sovereignty.

"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?

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

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
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI

[] baddestbunny
16:01
They make the Yale app a lot of work to filter out the people who don’t really want it like that
16:25
