Read a random definition: blood test

A quick definition of lex Papia Poppea:

The lex Papia Poppea is a law from ancient Rome proposed by two consuls named Papius and Poppeus at the request of Emperor Augustus. It is often considered together with another law called the lex Julia de maritandis ordinibus. The lex Papia Poppea exempted women with three or more children from being placed under guardianship. The law regulated marriages and forbade certain types of marriages between senators and freedwomen, and between senators and actresses or prostitutes. The law also punished embezzlement of public money and made adultery a public crime.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Lex Papia Poppea is a law proposed by the consuls Papius and Poppeus at the request of Augustus in Roman law. It is usually considered with the lex Julia de maritandis ordinibus as one law. The law regulates marriages, imposes a duty to be married on all men between 25 and 60, and on all women between 20 and 50, and forbids marriages between senators and freedwomen, and forbids senators and all other freeborn citizens from marrying actresses, prostitutes, and the like. The law also exempts women with three children or more from being placed under guardianship.

Example: A man who is 30 years old and unmarried would be required to get married under the Lex Papia Poppea law. However, a woman who is 55 years old and unmarried would not be required to get married because she is over the age limit.

Explanation: The example illustrates the duty to be married imposed by the law on men between 25 and 60 and women between 20 and 50. The exemption for women with three children or more from being placed under guardianship is also illustrated in the example.

I'm assuming then for status checking eventually that the school emails you that information once LSAC finishes processing?
babycat

Yep

I'm in a dual degree program that my undergraduate has where if you meet a gpa and percentile you can have your senior year be your L1 ! Cuts off a year of time and money and the partner was my top pick for law anyways. It all just worked out and since it's ED can't really apply anywhere else because the L1 transfers back to complete my degree. :)

God my mouth is burning so much
@babycat: A few things. I mean, for one, this is my fifth year of undergrad (graduating with a dual BA/MA), so I don't think academically I'm incredibly behind or anything. Beyond, that I've explored other fields, and for the very niche area of public interest work I am interested in, law is the only way I can make a substantiative difference so why not start now.
And also my other options just are not great. I could take a shit paying job at a think tank, I was offered a job at, but I don’t find the work interesting. Or I could continue in academia, getting a phd, but again just not especially interested in academic philosophy.
I would say more, but I am very close to doxxing myself if I haven’t already.

5th year at 19. That is amazing.

So you started when you were 14. Wow.
Dkk

I tried to find you but if still in school, other names pop up first. Do you drink alcohol? If not, you should start drinking to catch up to me. @texas
I started at 15
turning 20 this year
or well very beginning of next year

My best advice is to start learning wine and cocktails asap. Take the introductory and certified sommelier exam as soon as you hit 21.
Dkk

I could not find you with that information. You are still probably pretty safe. Though I did not use all my search engines or filters.
@Dkk: That is good. Granted I don't think being doxxed would be the end of the world, but who knows.
And, yeah, I have drinken a little bit over the last couple of years (what college student hasn't), but not a massive fan

That is cus college people drink like idiots. I was not a fan at my first college and I did not start drinking until I was 22.5. The art of Sommelier stuff though is less about drinking and more about thought process. Kind of a puzzle like a logic game. Same with cocktails. You will love it if you hate college type drinking.

It's something to do outside of the things you mentioned, it is useful for networking, and it will help you in law school. It will help you find exactly what you want to do in law school.
