A quick definition of jus ex non scripto:

Term: jus ex non scripto

Definition: Jus ex non scripto means unwritten law. It refers to laws that are not written down but are still considered valid and enforceable. These laws are based on customs, traditions, and practices that have been passed down through generations. They are often used in situations where there is no written law that applies. For example, if a community has a tradition of resolving disputes through mediation, this could be considered jus ex non scripto.

A more thorough explanation:

jus ex non scripto

jus ex non scripto is a Latin term that means "unwritten law." It refers to legal principles that are not written down in statutes or codes, but are instead based on custom, tradition, or judicial decisions.

One example of jus ex non scripto is the common law system used in many English-speaking countries. Under this system, judges rely on previous court decisions to interpret and apply the law, rather than relying solely on written statutes.

Another example is the concept of "fair use" in copyright law. While the specific details of fair use are not spelled out in the law, courts have developed a set of principles over time that allow for certain uses of copyrighted material without permission.

These examples illustrate how jus ex non scripto can play an important role in shaping the law, even when there is no specific written rule or regulation to follow.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.

I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
