lex aeterna

Read a random definition: military government

A quick definition of lex aeterna:

Lex aeterna is a Latin term that means "eternal law". It refers to the idea that there are certain laws and principles that exist naturally in the world, rather than being created by humans. These laws can be physical, like gravity, or moral, like the idea that it is wrong to harm others. Some people believe that these natural laws come from a divine source, while others see them as a product of human reason and observation. Regardless of their origin, the concept of lex aeterna is important in philosophy and law, as it helps us understand the fundamental principles that guide our actions and decisions.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Lex aeterna is a Latin term that means "eternal law." It refers to the idea that there are moral and legal principles that exist beyond human laws and are based on universal concepts of justice and human nature.

Examples: One example of lex aeterna is the concept of natural law. Natural law is the idea that there are certain moral principles that are inherent in nature and can be discovered through reason. For example, the principle that it is wrong to kill another person is considered a natural law because it is based on the inherent value of human life.

Another example of lex aeterna is the concept of divine law. Divine law is the idea that there are moral principles that are based on the will of God or a higher power. For example, the Ten Commandments in the Bible are considered divine law because they are believed to be based on the will of God.

Explanation: Lex aeterna is the idea that there are moral and legal principles that exist beyond human laws and are based on universal concepts of justice and human nature. These principles are believed to be eternal and unchanging, and they are often seen as the foundation of human laws and morality. The examples of natural law and divine law illustrate this concept by showing how moral principles can be based on universal concepts of justice and human nature, rather than on the laws and customs of a particular society or culture.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: aw of course I want you around but I was thinking of the 7sage diversity statement in their admissions course where this guy writes about how he and his wife take in foster kids. he got into NW with below median LSAT. you have significant past adversity and interesting work experience I would shoot your shot

and I honestly don't think the t14 require significantly more intellect than any other law school. the content is pretty much the same
15:44
the rigor of the T14 law schools is almost entirely the result of who they allow to attend

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

but doesn’t grade inflation at the top schools almost make it easier to get higher grades than it does at >t14
babycat
15:45
@info-man: agreed
babycat
15:48
just my opinion but grade inflation is probably more of an undergrad thing since law school grades tend to be on a curve
