material change in circumstances

Read a random definition: intercommon

A quick definition of material change in circumstances:

A material change in circumstances refers to a significant change that affects a situation or decision. For example, if someone's financial situation changes drastically, it could be considered a material change in circumstances. In legal terms, this can impact decisions made in court or contracts that have been signed. It is important to pay attention to material changes in circumstances because they can have a big impact on the outcome of a situation.

Material evidence is information that is important and relevant to a case. This evidence can help prove or disprove a claim or argument. It is important to present all material evidence in court to ensure a fair and just outcome.

A material fact is a piece of information that is important and relevant to a situation or decision. For example, if someone is buying a car, the fact that the car has been in a major accident would be considered a material fact. It is important to disclose all material facts to ensure that everyone involved has all the necessary information to make an informed decision.

Material information is information that is important and relevant to an investment decision. This information can impact the price of a stock or other investment. It is important for investors to have access to all material information to make informed decisions about their investments.

A more thorough explanation:

A material change in circumstances refers to a significant change in a situation or condition that can affect a legal decision or agreement. This change must be important enough to impact the outcome of the decision or agreement.

  • During a divorce proceeding, one spouse loses their job. This is a material change in circumstances that may affect the amount of spousal support awarded.
  • In a contract for the sale of a house, the seller discovers that the roof needs to be replaced. This is a material change in circumstances that may affect the price of the house.

These examples illustrate how a material change in circumstances can impact legal decisions or agreements. In both cases, the change is significant enough to affect the outcome of the situation.

@EvolBunny: there are 198 ABA accredited schools in the US

the vast majority of 170+ are enrolling at T20's--that's the only way they keep a 170 median lmao

just claim what you want in life in applications and then it can change in law school as ur exposed to stuff
[] texaslawhopefully

@babycat: I don't think so, assuming that you have a cohesive why law and actually did stuff in undergrad. I mean ofc your application will always be stronger given work experience, but I don't think KJD status on its own "hurts" your application.

best thing you can do as a sub 3 is clear Wash U's median and go there, which I'm going to try to do in January if I don't hear from UGA before the deadline to sign up (Dec 3)

I'm just saying this as a hypothetical. people say urm boost is the equivalent of x LSAT point increase. was just wondering if there was an equivalent kJD decrease

I think you guys think about yourselves too much. All you can do is put together a well rounded application and simply wait!

@EvolBunny: I think you just proved yourself wrong lmao. It is showing 50 percent of people with those stats getting into WashU.

"@JumpySubsequentDolphin: you know schools that are like 350th ranked have people with 170+ lsats, right? GPA and all that does play a role and bruce is likely not getting what he wants"

@texaslawhopefully: is washu the entire t20? Or notorious for letting applicants redact gpa or lsat? Like okay i guess washu, what about the rest? Buddy literally said he is a nothing candidate except high lsat. No EC, WE, minority status, right skin color, military, in state, etc. That means he will be fucked by the t20, except maybe washu
BruceSutter

I also never said I only wanted to go to a T20

@EvolBunny: You're stupid af. Did you read what he said. He said fucking WashU.

And, yes, most people with a 170+ will go to the T20 because at the very least since the T20 pretty much all has a 170+ LSAT median they need at least 3k people a year with a 170+ to maintain those medians (given about 6k people enroll in the T20).
[] texaslawhopefully
12:50
And there's only 4k people a year with a 170+.

@babycat: That KJD question is a legit one, I wonder if there is enough data out there to show it as there is data that makes people think URM is a point boost

I just got my second decision of the day (:
EvolBunny
12:52
you are a fucking idiot, Do you think every 170+ is in the t20? Some people want to inherit daddy's judge position and local connections and only needed a 155 but shit out a 173. Okay, go look at the schools yourself. Surely you will find ONLY 170s in the t20 and nowhere else! fucking tool. Also, there are only 4400ish people in the t14 and the median is like 171 lmfao they do not want ONLY 170+s

unless you participated in a million clubs or had legit internships idk how kjds do so well honestly

nothing against kjds just heard a ton of advice that you should work before applying

@EvolBunny: I said the vast majority dumbass. There's only 4k people with a 170+ and 6k people in the T20. The lowest LSAT median in the T20 is 169, so yes the vast majority of people (as in 70ish percent) with a 170+ are going to the T14.

I think some of that comes from a feeling that law school is a major commitment and you should be sure about it moreso than the value of the work experience
babycat
12:54
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: right? would love to see some analysis on this
babycat
12:55
I feel like as you get more WE you have diminishing returns. Not sure someone with 20 years of work is valued more than 5 or 10 unless it's been ground-breaking stuff
babycat
12:57
realizing now the correct spelling of groundbreaking is unhyphenated. I knew it looked wrong

I think it has to be proffesional or law related kind of work experience to mean anything significant. Entry level assistant jobs people get fresh from college has to be like ehhhh.
