A quick definition of locus regit actum:

Term: LOCUS REGIT ACTUM

Definition: Locus regit actum means that the place where a legal transaction takes place determines the rules that apply to it. This means that if a transaction follows the legal requirements of the country where it was created, it will be considered valid in the country where it is supposed to take effect, even if that country has additional requirements.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Locus regit actum is a Latin term that means "the place rules the act." In international law, it refers to the principle that a transaction that follows the legal formalities of the country where it is created will be considered valid in the country where it is to be effective, even if that country requires additional formalities.

For example, if a contract is created in the United States and follows all the legal formalities required by U.S. law, it will be considered valid in another country, such as Canada, even if Canadian law requires additional formalities.

Another example is a will that is created in France and follows all the legal formalities required by French law. If the person who created the will dies while in the United Kingdom, the will would still be considered valid in the UK, even if UK law requires additional formalities.

These examples illustrate how the principle of locus regit actum works in international law. As long as a transaction follows the legal formalities of the country where it is created, it will be recognized as valid in other countries, even if those countries have different requirements.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
