A quick definition of legal right:

A legal right is something that a person is allowed to do or have because it is fair and just. It can be something that is guaranteed by the law, like the right to own property or the right to be free. It can also be a power or privilege that is protected by the law, like the right to vote or the right to speak freely. If someone violates your legal right, it is considered wrong and you can take legal action to make it right. Basically, a legal right is something that you are allowed to do or have because it is fair and the law says so.

A more thorough explanation:

A legal right is something that a person is entitled to by law, morality, or ethics. It can be a power, privilege, or immunity secured to a person by law. It can also be a legally enforceable claim that another person will do or will not do a given act. Violating someone's legal right is considered a wrong and can result in legal action.

Examples of legal rights include:

The right to free speech
The right to a fair trial
The right to own property
The right to vote

These examples illustrate how legal rights are guaranteed by law and can be enforced through legal action. For instance, if someone's right to free speech is violated, they can take legal action against the person who violated their right.

@GodsPlanUltimately: thats such a crazy thing to do instead of going to law school why cant u get a job not being an electrician

lilypadfrog

21:26

You’re literally a junior you could retake the LSAT, apply next year, and have a law school lined up by the time you graduate

CynicalPizza

21:26

Quite a dichotomy

lilypadfrog

21:26

Great word honey

CynicalPizza

21:26

Wait ur a junior? How does that work if u get accepted for next fall? Just graduate early? @lilypadfrog yep that one is a main staple of my essays

Wait yeah that doesn’t make sense

texaslawhopefully

21:27

Is it a 3+3 program

if you’re taller than 6’2 you’re too tall

But tell your dad he is going to ruin your future with that stupid fucking pact. It’s your future, not his. Explain to him how much better your outcomes would be with more time

@texaslawhopefully: from what I remember yes, that’s why she’s locked into this one school and they’re screwing her on aid

GodsPlanUltimately

21:28

Yes it's a 3+3 program. And in relation to that is was less of a pact and more of an expectation? My mom's fought my whole life for me and my sibling to be educated. He doesn't believe in education and opened his own electrial company so he's trying to corner me into taking over the business even though my degree isn't even in anything useful to that industry. He isn't exactly reasonable with that level of thinking unfortunately. But people have it worse so I can't complain!

idk why y’all be listening to your parents

IrishDinosaur

21:29

Yes you can. Difficulties aren't an olympic sport. Other peoples' don't invalidate your own.

my parents have zero sway on where i go to school and they know it

IrishDinosaur

GPU you're a sweetheart and you deserve to make your own path and not graduate with an overwhelming debt.

@windyMagician: thats so true. I didnt tell anyone in my family i was applying to law school until after i got my first As - best decision ever

lilypadfrog

@GodsPlanUltimately: where is your mom in this electrician pact? It sounds like she would support you

Water

21:31

@texaslawhopefully: I would not do that Texas. I really think this is more complex than that. College really is not everything.

GodsPlanUltimately

21:32

Thank you Dino! <3 Honestly why I'd rather take on the potentiality of debt (most likely 100kish) and say screw you even if that means working my a** off. The only person I listen to is my mom and she is fully supportive. I'm currently trying to just apply to as many external $$ as I can. The issue is I don't qualify necessarily for "need based aid" when it comes to family income. She's slowly dissuading him alongside myself but honestly I love this school which is why the whole $$$ thing sucks. Didn't know lsd.law was a therapy session lol

Water

21:33

Taking over a family business is similar to what my dad wanted me to do. He wanted me to be a radiologist like him and take over his practice but it did not work out. It's hard to get to a mutual understanding and strong arming is a way to ruin a relationship in this situation. Hell, I did not talk to my dad for multiple years cus of this and I regretted it.

@Water: This "some real working class realism" is so true lol. ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ (15/15)

Sweetheart you can reapply and still go to this school but if you don’t apply ED and come prepared to negotiate you could be saving tens of thousands

CynicalPizza

Lsd has always been for therapy they figured that out in the 50s

GodsPlanUltimately

@lilypadfrog: Its interesting because I applied ED through the 3+3 program but my advisor for the school told me it's only so applicants can figure out their spring schedule. So technically I'm not ED? The program is like if you have 3.5gpa and above and LSAT 157 above it's "binding"? But I have a 3.8 and a 153 so technically they admitted me as if I was a regular applicant even though its through the program. Weird stuff.

Water

@CynicalPizza: Yeah and it needs to be kept that way. We have been getting away from legit conversation for a while now.
