A quick definition of jus tripertitum:

Jus tripertitum is a Latin term that means "law in three parts." It refers to the law of wills during the time of Justinian in ancient Rome. This law was made up of three parts: the praetorian edicts, the civil law, and the imperial constitutions. A will, or testamentum, was a legal document that allowed a person to specify how their property and possessions would be distributed after their death. The testamentum tripertitum was a specific type of will that required seven witnesses to seal it and the testator to sign it. It was called "tripartite" because it derived authority from three sources: the civil law, the praetor's edict, and imperial constitutions.

A more thorough explanation:

Jus tripertitum is a Latin term that means "law in three parts" in Roman law. It refers to the law of wills during the time of Justinian, which was derived from three sources: the praetorian edicts, the civil law, and the imperial constitutions.

Testamentum tripertitum is a type of will that was valid in Justinian's law. It was called "tripartite" because the authority for various parts of it derived from three sources:

  • The civil law, which required that the will be made at one and the same time before witnesses
  • The praetor's edict, which required that there be seven witnesses and that they must seal it
  • Imperial constitutions, which required that the testator must sign at the end

This type of will was made without interruption, with seven witnesses to seal it, and signed by the testator.

In Roman law, there were other types of wills, such as:

  • Testamentum calatis comitiis: a will made before the comitia curiata, having an effect comparable to adrogation
  • Testamentum holografum: a will entirely written, dated, and signed by the testator
  • Testamentum in procinctu: a will made by a soldier before a fellow soldiers while preparing for battle
  • Testamentum militum: a will made by a soldier during military service

These types of wills illustrate the different circumstances under which a person could make a will in Roman law.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
