A quick definition of long-arm:

Term: LONG-ARM

Definition: Long-arm refers to a law that allows a court to have power over someone who is not in the same state or country as the court. This means that the court can make decisions and enforce them even if the person is far away.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Long-arm is an adjective used to describe a statute that allows a court to have jurisdiction over a person or entity that is not physically present within the court's jurisdiction. This means that the court can reach out and "grab" someone who is outside of their normal jurisdiction.

Example: Long-arm jurisdiction can be used in cases where a person or company has committed a crime or caused harm in a state where they do not reside or have a physical presence. For example, if a person from California causes a car accident in New York, the New York court can use long-arm jurisdiction to hold the California resident accountable for their actions.

Explanation: The example illustrates how long-arm jurisdiction can be used to extend a court's reach beyond its normal boundaries. In this case, the court in New York is able to hold the California resident accountable for their actions, even though they are not physically present in New York. This is possible because of the long-arm statute, which allows the court to exercise jurisdiction over the out-of-state resident.

18:23
i rly liked powerscore! and babycat maybe yeah
18:24
ty :') ive been looking for some prep material but I've seen some where they're like $500 plus for prep material
18:25
7sage, lsatdemon, lsat hacks. check them out it seems like diff ppl have a preference. most offer free trial
babycat
18:25
7sage is $1/month if you can get fee waiver
babycat
18:26
that’s the first thing you should know. apply for a fee waiver through LSAC and it applies to some test prep companies too
@K0zhii: I would recommend LSAT Demon (they also have a fee waiver version) & the Loophole
I personally did not like 7Sage, but since it is so cheap w/ fee waiver it might be worth trying
18:34
@K0zhii: to summarize: 1: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/register-lsat/lsat-cas-fees/fee-waiver 2. check out the above mentioned prep companies, sign up/ 'try them on' and see if you have a preference (they are all a little different). 3. If you get an LSAC fee waiver, you can then use it to get discounted access to the prep companies. Hope this helps!

I mean it is not a bad option, unless you're shooting for HYS or something.
18:44
yeah harvard is def my dream
18:45
I believe regarding PI binding @ NYU? we came to the conclusion that: if you get it, it is binding IF u accept it, after you are admitted, chances are at that point u would know (likely) outcome @ other options. can anyone confirm?
@ChowieBean: Well if HLS is your dream, then don't apply binding somewhere else—at least I wouldn't do that.
18:47
yes i'm sure that one's binding if you accept. and yeah i probably wont bind to berkeley but i want to still write a public interest essay for them
18:54
I wish eggan jackfrost wasp bunny where here to input some knowledge since they are PI focused. texas seems right- it just really depends on the margin of utility u see in each school, if u are deadest on HLS- likely dont do anything binding to other schools?
18:56
agree i just feel like it's such a pipe dream for HLS to be dream school
