mala antiqua

Read a random definition: inficiatio

A quick definition of mala antiqua:

Term: MALA ANTIQUA

Definition: Mala antiqua refers to old crimes or offenses that happened a long time ago, even in ancient times.

For example, if someone committed a crime hundreds of years ago, it would be considered mala antiqua. These crimes may not be punished in the same way as modern crimes because the laws and punishments have changed over time.

A more thorough explanation:

MALA ANTIQUA

Old crimes; offenses that date back to antiquity.

Mala Antiqua refers to crimes or offenses that were committed a long time ago, often in ancient times. These crimes may have been forgotten or overlooked for many years, but they can still have consequences in the present day. For example, if someone discovers evidence of a crime that was committed centuries ago, the perpetrator's descendants may still be held responsible for the offense.

One example of Mala Antiqua is the crime of piracy. Piracy has been a crime for thousands of years, and even though it is not as common today as it was in the past, it is still considered a serious offense. Another example is the crime of treason, which has been punished throughout history and is still a crime in many countries today.

Another example of Mala Antiqua is the crime of sacrilege, which involves disrespecting or damaging religious objects or places. This crime has been punished for centuries and is still considered a serious offense in many cultures.

These examples illustrate how crimes that were committed in the past can still have consequences in the present day. Even though these crimes may have been committed a long time ago, they are still considered serious offenses and can result in punishment for the perpetrator or their descendants.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
