A quick definition of misuse:

Term: MISUSE

Definition: Misuse is when someone uses a product in a way that it was not meant to be used or in a way that the manufacturer did not expect. This can be used as a defense in a lawsuit if the person who was hurt by the product was using it in a way that was not intended or foreseeable by the manufacturer.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Misuse is a defense used in products liability cases. It means that the plaintiff used the product in a way that was not intended or foreseeable by the manufacturer.

Example: If a person uses a hair dryer to dry their pet after a bath and the pet is injured, the manufacturer of the hair dryer may use the defense of misuse. This is because the hair dryer was not intended to be used on pets and the injury was not foreseeable.

Another example: If a person uses a ladder as a diving board and is injured, the ladder manufacturer may use the defense of misuse. This is because the ladder was not intended to be used as a diving board and the injury was not foreseeable.

These examples illustrate how the defense of misuse can be used in products liability cases. It is important for consumers to use products only as intended by the manufacturer to avoid injury and to prevent the defense of misuse from being used against them in a lawsuit.

splitters are unpredictable so you might get in to better schools than you think and not get in to school you might think of as safeties

I wanted a short list but my family pushed me to apply to a bunch of reaches (out of my own pocket ofc)
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: yeah that's kinda my worry. Technically most schools are simultaneously targets, reaches, and safeties for me
I'm def not a t14 or bust kinda guy though so it's all about the money lol

you should apply cornell. the lrap covers your loans if you make less than 120k a year. so you could do PI and get your loans forgiven with PSLF. i think you’d have a good shot at cornell

waspy wants everyone to go to Cornell and hang out with him
yes, i am cornell’s #1 glazer and recommend it to everyone

I've seen UGA give big money to mid 170s mid 3s before
good for big law and good for PI because no one does PI at cornell
@BruceSutter: NC, VA/DC, or Cali most likely. Also have ties to Chicago and Cinci
13:30
I've also seen a few UGA grads go to Charlotte
plus we can drink milk tea together
13:31
I'd add Northwestern and Gulc for sure although you might only get half at most at T14s if you get in. worth a shot though
that's the thing, I'd love to go to Gtown but I could never afford it in a million years lol. I still have to sort some shit out with the VA to determine if I have GI Bill eligibility, in which case fuck it we ball. But money is a big factor otherwise since I have 0 interest in BL
@TurboSplitter: look into schools LRAPs, a lot of schools will pay your loan payments if you do PI.
