mislaid property

Read a random definition: explees

A quick definition of mislaid property:

Mislaid property refers to an item that was intentionally placed somewhere by the owner but was then forgotten or misplaced. It is different from lost property, which is an item that was unintentionally left behind. Property refers to the right to possess, use, and enjoy something, whether it is a piece of land or a physical object. There are different types of property, such as abandoned property, which is voluntarily surrendered by the owner, and income property, which produces income like rental property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mislaid property refers to an external thing over which the rights of possession, use, and enjoyment are exercised. It is property that is intentionally placed somewhere by the owner but is then forgotten or left behind. It is different from lost property, which is property that the owner unintentionally leaves behind and does not know where it is.

Example: If a person goes to a coffee shop and forgets their phone on the table, the phone is considered mislaid property. The owner intentionally placed the phone on the table but forgot to take it when leaving. The coffee shop is responsible for keeping the phone safe until the owner comes back to claim it.

Explanation: The example illustrates mislaid property because the phone was intentionally placed on the table by the owner but was then forgotten. The coffee shop has a duty to keep the phone safe until the owner comes back to claim it because the owner did not intend to abandon the phone. If the phone was lost, the owner would not know where it is, and the coffee shop would not have a duty to keep it safe.

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
letsseehowitgoesnow
11:17
so washu only called one person
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+
