malice in fact

Read a random definition: resolution

A quick definition of malice in fact:

Malice is when someone intends to do something wrong without a good reason. It can also mean when someone doesn't care about the law or other people's rights. Sometimes it means having a bad heart or wanting to do something wicked. Malice can be shown by a person's actions or by what they say. It can also be used in different ways in the law, like when someone knows they are saying something false and harmful about another person. Malice can be very serious and can lead to punishment.

A more thorough explanation:

Malice in fact refers to the deliberate intent to commit a wrongful act without any justification or excuse. It can also refer to reckless disregard of the law or a person's legal rights, or ill will and wickedness of heart.

For example, if someone intentionally harms another person without any valid reason, it can be considered malice in fact. Similarly, if someone knowingly publishes false information about another person with the intention of causing harm, it can also be considered malice in fact.

These examples illustrate how malice in fact involves intentional wrongdoing without any valid justification or excuse. It is a state of mind that shows a deliberate disregard for the rights and well-being of others.

If you're already on the WL when you get a higher LSAT, are you already cooked?
their loss lol. any tips for LSAT LR? I used 7sage and kinda hated it. I have Loophole that I plan on using whenever I retake lsat probably in summer
@soap: you are more cooked than if you were not already waitlisted, but you are not completely cooked and raising your lsat is the strongest thing you can do for a WL

Volatile, I always do the hardest ones first, so that you get the most challenging questions out of the way and make it get easier as you proceed. Also, read the answer choices before reading the question.

Man if I get above 175 and end up not getting into any t14s I'll laugh
@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: biggest tip that will get you a few points is that the LSAT doesn’t actually use “most correct” like it claims. there’s actually only ever one right answer and every other answer will be excluded by one rule of logic or another. so only one answer will ever be completely correct
is there like a cheat sheet or a study guide type of thing for specific forms of questions? I remember I struggled the most with NA/SA/PSA
@soap: if you get above a 175 you should just reapply because you’d probably be competitive for penn nyu and cls at that point with scholly money
I scored 156 on my first LSAT in August, I cancelled that and retook it immediately in September and got 163. Do yall think I can cross into 170's if I start studying from like january to summer
because i've heard that any score increase after 165 is just as hard as from 145 to 160

I've been told by my parents that I cannot reapply because I have the full ride to UMN and so I better take whatever I can get lol

I’m going to have to disagree with soap on the point of doing the hardest questions first. I think it’s just a general waste of time to over complicate your strategy. You’re going to have do all the questions anyone. Ignore the clock and focus on one question at a time.
@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: it gets harder to increase your score as you go up, but if you work hard and consistently work on your mistakes it’s entirely possible you break 170
got it thank u guys
@soap: lol oh well just get top 10% a umn and then transfer to harvard because you come from a grade deflated undergrad and law school will be easy for you
soap

I think the order in which you do questions is a matter of personal preference. In PTs I've always scored better doing the hardest ones first, but that's just because it reduces the stress personally lol
soap
14:02
I guess since I'm paying for all this anyhow I could just wait and reapply lmao
texaslawhopefully
14:03
Yeah soap if you get a 175+, I would 100 percent reapply
hahahahah sure if you’re set on t14 it’s entirely attainable for you

If your parents aren’t helping at all, they don’t have much of a say

^valid pt
my mom is so involved in my application proccess she wanted to cater my personal statement to what she believed would make most impact on adcom.
she is helping pay for it but even if so, they shouldnt be too involved
shes a war veteran so she wanted me to spend significant portion of my ps talking about how much her journey affected and inspired me so i ignored her to the fullest by simply saying "ps is about me not you"
speaking of test prep, any 7sage alternatives that include explanations without "youre dumb if u dont get this"

twitter is making me so mad i may have to get rid of it

14:25

14:26
