loco tutoris

Read a random definition: ex cathedra

A quick definition of loco tutoris:

LOCO TUTORIS: In Scots law, loco tutoris means "in the place of a tutor." When a pupil does not have a tutor, the Court of Session can appoint a factor loco tutoris to manage their estate and make decisions for them. This factor has the same responsibilities as a tutor-at-law or a tutor appointed by the pupil's father, but they are not doing it for free.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Loco tutoris (loh-koh t[y]oo-tor-is) is a Latin term used in Scots law. It refers to a person who is appointed by the Court of Session to act as a tutor for a pupil who does not have one. The loco tutoris is responsible for the person and estate of the pupil, just like a tutor-at-law or a tutor appointed by the pupil's father under his testamentary settlement. The only difference is that the loco tutoris is not appointed for free.

When a pupil does not have a tutor, the Court of Session can appoint a loco tutoris to act on their behalf. For example:

  • If a pupil's father dies and did not appoint a tutor for them in his will, the Court of Session can appoint a loco tutoris to manage the pupil's estate.
  • If a pupil's parents are divorced and the custodial parent is unable to act as a tutor, the Court of Session can appoint a loco tutoris to act on behalf of the pupil.

These examples illustrate how a loco tutoris can be appointed to act as a tutor for a pupil who does not have one. The loco tutoris has the same responsibilities and duties as a regular tutor, but is appointed by the Court of Session instead of the pupil's father or family.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
