A quick definition of leges centuriatae:

Term: LEGES CENTURIATAE

Definition: Leges centuriatae are laws passed in ancient Rome through a voting system called comitia centuriata. These laws were made by the people and applied to all citizens.

A more thorough explanation:

LEGES CENTURIATAE

Leges centuriatae is a Latin term that refers to a law passed in the comitia centuriata, a Roman assembly. It is also known as lex centuriata. These laws were passed by the Roman citizens who were divided into centuries based on their wealth and social status. The majority of the centuries had to vote in favor of the law for it to be passed.

One example of a leges centuriatae is the Lex Licinia Sextia, which was passed in 367 BC. This law allowed plebeians (common people) to hold the consulship, the highest elected office in Rome. Before this law, only patricians (nobles) could hold this office.

Another example is the Lex Hortensia, passed in 287 BC. This law gave the plebeian assembly (comitia plebis) the power to pass laws that applied to all Roman citizens, regardless of their social status. Before this law, only the comitia centuriata could pass laws that applied to all citizens.

These examples illustrate how the comitia centuriata played a significant role in Roman lawmaking and how the leges centuriatae helped to shape the Roman legal system.

UCI hella liberal and trans. I think you would like it. More liberal than like Berk and UCLA if you can imagine. @Eggan

I did astrophysics for 3 years and hated it. Dropped out of my first college cus of it. @limpweeny

Do not recommend studying physics. Super boring, a lot of math, and most results are not replicable.

Ill say this though. I studied a lot of Otto Hahn and was happy to see him at the start of Oppenheimer. Made a little appearance. Nice tribute.

@Dkk: i know the makeup of UCI but im not from california and i didn't like how i'd have to be isolated from the labor movement since it's not very close to LA and OC is mostly a bunch of rich people tbh
19:09
i like berk's proximity to san francisco. the bay area is full of surprises when it comes to labor
19:11
thats why i'm mostly centered on cities with major labor activity this cycle (besides chicago) such as NYC, boston DC (where the union headquarters usually are)
19:11
Anyone else hella concerned w the uptick in applicants? Not sure if I can use the LSD data of the past to reference
some dean said they're only expecting 5-15% increase over the whole cycle, still not great, but not 30% like currently
19:15
Ohhh okay thank goodness. I saw +38% and lowk got scared
19:16
That doesn’t seem too bad if they increase class size by a bit 🙏

Ahh that is true but OC Disney Unions. Can always be involved in those. Some of the biggest unions in California. I was part of that for a couple years but my union was corrupt. @Eggan

Berk is definitely more fun. Unions in LA are of course the screen actors guild and then hospitality stuff like restaurants. It will be good wherever you go imo if that is what you are into.

@sadpadresfan: yeah, Spivey said the same thing wasp pointed out. 30% to start to 15% at the end. I think part of it may also be people just want more variety. Maybe a similar amount of applicants but more variety. More waitlist movement potentially this year. Schools fighting harder for people.
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: the NU dean. Him and Spivey did a podcast on it.
And if you look at the numbers they're starting to come down. A couple weeks ago we were up 36 percent up, now we're only 26 percent up.

@texaslawhopefully: if you are trying to do texas law, why not go to UT Austin. Probably better scholarships for you compared to Harvard and its a pipeline. Unless, of course, scholarships don't matter in your case.
i studied hard stem but i just hate being in an actual lab lol
depends on the type of lab work that you do, the only thing i did enjoy doing was bacterial genetics because that shit is super fast and fun, but working in a wet lab is just a lottttt of sitting and waiting around
hence law, lmao
@NotJustALawyer: I'm trying to do an appellate clerkship and the very top schools just have better placement. And yes, I'm still considering UT, but I think with my numbers I can get scholarship money at most of the T14.
Also I made my username before I had my lsat back and then UT was my top choice, but I’ve been somewhat open geographically. I also have ties to Texas so I don’t think it’d be hard to get back here if I left the state for law school.
