A quick definition of litis denuntiatio:

Term: LITIS DENUNTIATIO

Definition: Litis denuntiatio is a legal process in which a person who has bought land and is being sued by a third party for possession of the land, notifies the seller of the land and demands help in defending the lawsuit under the seller's warranty of title. This means that the buyer is asking the seller to help them because the seller promised that they had the right to sell the land. It is important to note that litis denuntiatio is a civil law term.

A more thorough explanation:

LITIS DENUNTIATIO

Litis denuntiatio is a legal process in civil law where a person who has purchased land and is being sued for possession of the land by a third party, notifies the land seller and demands aid in defending the suit under the seller's warranty of title.

For example, if John buys a piece of land from Jane and later someone else claims that they are the rightful owner of the land, John can use litis denuntiatio to notify Jane and demand her help in defending the lawsuit. This is because Jane had given John a warranty of title when he purchased the land from her.

Another example could be if a company purchases a property and later discovers that there is an easement on the property that was not disclosed during the sale. The company can use litis denuntiatio to notify the seller and demand their help in defending any legal action related to the easement.

These examples illustrate how litis denuntiatio is used to protect the buyer's rights and ensure that the seller fulfills their warranty of title.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows
I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw
soapy

But do people get in without addresses going long?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie

it's tough to tell because a lot of people type out their addresses long to begin with
soapy

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao
soapy

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?
soapy

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
soapy

Or another essay?
