A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Modus decimandi is a Latin term used in Ecclesiastical law to refer to a special kind of tithing by custom that is different from the general law that usually required the tenth part of an annual increase.

For example, it could mean a twelfth part of a quantity of hay instead of a tenth part or a couple of hens instead of a normal tithing of eggs.

Examples:

  • A farmer in a certain region may be required to give a twelfth part of his hay crop as a tithe instead of the usual tenth part.
  • A church may accept a couple of hens as a tithe instead of the usual tithing of eggs.

These examples illustrate how modus decimandi refers to a specific custom of tithing that deviates from the general law of tithing.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
