joint offense

Read a random definition: orderly officer

A quick definition of joint offense:

A joint offense is when two or more people work together to commit a crime. It's like a team effort to break the law. Other types of offenses include stealing someone else's things, doing something that's against the law but not as serious as a felony, and trying to commit a crime before actually doing it. In some places, there are certain offenses that can get you arrested right away, even if you haven't been convicted yet.

A more thorough explanation:

Joint offense refers to a violation of the law committed by two or more people working together. It is a type of criminal offense.

Robbery committed by two or more people is a joint offense. If two people plan and execute a robbery together, they are both guilty of a joint offense.

Another example of a joint offense is drug trafficking. If a group of people work together to transport and sell illegal drugs, they are committing a joint offense.

These examples illustrate how joint offense involves multiple people working together to commit a crime. It is important to note that each person involved in a joint offense can be held responsible for the actions of the group as a whole.

Hi everyone! Decided a bit too late that I wanted to go into law. GPA currently stands at 3.76 (one more semester to go) and I'm interested in going into immigration law. Anybody got any advice for LSAT studying and applications? I plan on taking a gap year to have some time for internships and such :)

Apply for the LSAT fee waiver to try to mitigate the cost of materials! 7Sage is $1 for a year if you have the fee waiver. I also think you should try to work in an immigration firm in some way to see if it’s something you really want to pursue and to add to your resume. Good luck!!! One tip I would also give is to not sign up for the LSAT until you’re practice tests average are around the score you’re aiming for

Would an internship through CHCI help my application as well?
Dkk
20:29
@madollyy: It would help as a soft but the big focus should be GPA while you can and LSAT right now. I would say GPA is 40% of the app, LSAt 50% and everything else 10%.
