A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Jactus lapilli is a Latin term that means "the throwing down of a stone." In Roman law, it refers to a landowner's act of throwing a small stone onto a neighbor's land to symbolically protest construction that could threaten the thrower's interest. It is similar to novi operis nuntiatio, which is a formal notice of protest against a neighbor's construction.

Example: If a landowner is concerned that their neighbor's construction project will damage their property, they may perform a jactus lapilli by throwing a small stone onto the neighbor's land. This act serves as a symbolic protest against the construction and a warning to the neighbor that the landowner is watching closely.

Explanation: The act of jactus lapilli is a way for landowners to express their concerns about potential property damage without resorting to legal action. By throwing a small stone onto their neighbor's land, they are sending a message that they are aware of the construction and will take action if necessary. This act is symbolic and does not cause any actual damage, but it serves as a warning to the neighbor to proceed with caution.

@soapy: what drew you to labor law? im also interested in labor law. currently work for the teamsters

my major is in labor stuff! originally, i was interested cuz i did some work with a teachers union, and as i've taken classes on labor and employment law and unions and such, as well as some jobs working with unions and management and government bodies, i'm really convinced that employment issues are one of the most key issues and that labor and employment touches every facet of people's lives
soapy
13:00
and i got the privilege to work on some pretty-high stakes stuff, which further made me realize how important this all is
soapy
13:01
how's it like working for the teamsters?

thats awesome. agree with everything you said! its cool. i was a UPS driver and became a shop-steward at my building. then became an organizer in our amazon division. so ive mostly worked with truck drivers and warehouse workers. its extremely important work! also very difficult. these companies are very powerful and break the law A LOT

oh that's cool! UPS made some big wins recently, yeah? are there any challenges you've found working w the Amazon division? i've heard some horror stories abt the things Amazon does to suppress worker rights and I wonder if that spills over to UPS
soapy
13:05

we had a big contract campaign in 2023. i was very involved in that. was an exciting moment. there are a million challenges. to keep it simple: the turnover rate combined with amazon's willingness to illegally retaliate against workers for organizing makes organizing feel like building a house of cards
13:06
cuz i lowkey just dont wanna retake
soapy
13:09
When the fees for illegal retaliation are low enough, and when any punishment takes years to enstate, many companies just see those fines as the cost of doing business. Amazon is for sure like that
@Invicat: I'm very interested in First Amendment litigaton & advocacy. I also think appellate work broadly is also interesting.
13:25
yooo we are talking about unions
13:25
im on a first contract campaign rn and when we win i pretty much am a shoe-in for shop steward
13:26
i did say id rather someone else do it bc i'm leaving for law school but theyre like Can You Do It Until You Leave and im like Ok Fine
for big law purposes i want to do biotech law, most likely either patent or ip
and later in life and/or ideally something in healthcare accessibility
reallt two can go hand in hand, especially working for companies such as pfizer which is one of the few companies that actually work towards access like suspending patents and funding manufacturing costs
but overall tbh, will have to shell out first (that sent, so early my bad)
but especially with the advent of technologies such as AI there will be massive ethical and legal issues in their development and implementation, so hopefully i'll be able to work in that field in a way that takes these considerations into account
14:08
i want to do that too

As the next week brings an election, I challenge you to decide which side: won their primary despite receiving 0 votes, has the power of the elites, war mongers, media giants behind them, is endorsed by adversary V Putin, preferred by China, throws concerts instead of addressing voters. The choice is yours dear friend. -Kremlin Operative, KGB grad 1980
