A quick definition of lucri causa:

Term: LUCRI CAUSA

Definition: Lucri causa means "for the sake of gain" in Latin. It used to be an important part of the crime of larceny, which is stealing someone else's property. But now, the thief's intention to take the property is usually enough to prove the crime. Some people think that the thief must have a plan to make money from the stolen property, but most people don't believe this anymore. Instead, they think that the thief just needs to intend to keep the property or use it in a way that is against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Lucri causa is a Latin term that means "for the sake of gain." In the past, it was an essential element of larceny, which is a type of theft. However, today, the thief's intent to deprive the possessor of property is generally sufficient to constitute theft.

For example, if someone takes another person's phone without their permission, it is considered theft even if they did not intend to sell the phone for money or gain any other type of advantage.

The generally accepted view is that the intent to permanently deprive the owner of their property or to deal with it unlawfully in a way that creates an unreasonable risk of permanent deprivation is all that is required to constitute the intent to steal.

Overall, lucri causa is a legal term that refers to the motive behind a theft or other illegal act involving property. It is important to understand this concept when studying criminal law and the elements of theft.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: aw of course I want you around but I was thinking of the 7sage diversity statement in their admissions course where this guy writes about how he and his wife take in foster kids. he got into NW with below median LSAT. you have significant past adversity and interesting work experience I would shoot your shot

and I honestly don't think the t14 require significantly more intellect than any other law school. the content is pretty much the same
15:44
the rigor of the T14 law schools is almost entirely the result of who they allow to attend

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

but doesn’t grade inflation at the top schools almost make it easier to get higher grades than it does at >t14

@info-man: agreed
babycat
15:48
just my opinion but grade inflation is probably more of an undergrad thing since law school grades tend to be on a curve

While representing himself in court, McKinley's sentence was reduced from 100 years to 25, a sentence he served in full. While still incarcerated, he took the LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, and applied to law school - no shit, thats impressive how much he lowered his sentence being pro say
