A quick definition of majorennitati proximus:

Term: majorennitati proximus

Definition: Majorennitati proximus is a term used in Scots law to refer to minors who are near the age of majority. These minors may have difficulty proving that a contracting party has taken advantage of their age and inexperience. It is similar to the term "in confinio majoris aetatis."

A more thorough explanation:

majorennitati proximus

In Scots law, majorennitati proximus refers to the state of being near the age of majority. This means that a person is almost old enough to be considered an adult.

1. John is 17 years old and will turn 18 in a few months. He is considered to be in a state of majorennitati proximus because he is almost an adult.

2. Sarah is 16 years old and wants to sign a contract to buy a car. However, because she is not yet in a state of majorennitati proximus, she may have difficulty arguing that the car dealer took advantage of her age and inexperience.

These examples illustrate that being in a state of majorennitati proximus means being close to the age of majority, but not quite there yet. This can have legal implications, such as difficulty in proving that someone took advantage of a minor's age and inexperience.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills
