MENS LEGIS

Mens legis is a Latin term that means "the mind of the law". It refers to the spirit or purpose of a law.

For example, the mens legis behind a law that prohibits driving under the influence of alcohol is to prevent accidents and protect public safety. The mens legis behind a law that requires employers to provide a safe working environment is to protect workers from harm.

Another example is the mens legis behind a law that requires people to wear seat belts while driving. The purpose of this law is to reduce the risk of injury or death in the event of a car accident.

The examples illustrate how the mens legis of a law is the reason why it was created. It is the underlying purpose or intention of the law. Understanding the mens legis is important because it helps us to interpret and apply the law in a way that achieves its intended purpose.

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

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+

if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications
