A more thorough explanation:

LITIS DOMINIUM

Litis dominium is a Latin term that means "ownership of a lawsuit." It refers to the right of a party to control and direct a legal action, including the decision to settle or go to trial.

For example, in a divorce case, each spouse has litis dominium over the issues of property division, spousal support, and child custody. This means that each spouse has the right to make decisions about these issues and to direct the course of the litigation.

In a personal injury case, the injured party has litis dominium over the claim for damages. They have the right to decide whether to settle the case or take it to trial, and they have the final say in any settlement negotiations.

Litis dominium is an important concept in civil litigation because it determines who has the power to make decisions about a legal action. The party with litis dominium has the right to control the case and make strategic decisions about how to proceed. This can have a significant impact on the outcome of the case, as well as the time and expense involved in the litigation.

ill start prepping in january and aim for august lsat or september even. would it look bad if i have 3-4 attempts on my record? I already took it twice and cancelled my first score so im bit worried about that lol

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:59

nope lots of people take the lsat 3-4 times

llama

14:59

@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: is it bad: some schools seem to prefer 1 and done vs 2+ takes. Is it better for you? If score much higher- yes. Overall, if it makes sense for u go for it

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:59

you might have to write an addendum though, but schools really want higher medians so if they see a big number that's all they honestly care about

CLS is my dream school and the only reason I am considering reapplying is to probably score higher and have better chances there, so fingers crossed they're chill about it

llama

15:05

with that targeted goal/ willingness to take a year to improve score, and from what you have said, it seems like a great option to reapply early next cycle w/ a higher score. best of luck!
