modus vivendi

Read a random definition: equal-management rule

A quick definition of modus vivendi:

Modus Vivendi: A temporary agreement between countries or groups of people that helps them live together peacefully while they work on finding a more permanent solution to their problems. It is like a band-aid that helps cover up a wound until it can heal properly. Sometimes, these agreements can last for a long time if a permanent solution cannot be found.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Modus vivendi (moh-dus vi-ven-dee) is a Latin term that means "means of living (together)". In international law, it refers to a temporary and provisional agreement made between parties that creates binding obligations.

A modus vivendi is a way for parties to tolerate each other and work towards a settlement by laying down the basis of a method of living together with a problem or bridging over some difficulty pending a permanent settlement. It is usually used for provisional and interim arrangements that will eventually be replaced by a more permanent and detailed agreement. The most distinguishing feature of a modus vivendi is its provisional character, but it can be exercised for an indefinite period of time if a definitive solution to the problem cannot be reached by treaty.

For example, two countries may sign a modus vivendi to temporarily resolve a border dispute while they work towards a permanent solution. Another example is when two countries agree to a modus vivendi to allow their fishermen to fish in each other's waters for a limited time while they negotiate a more permanent fishing agreement.

These examples illustrate how a modus vivendi can be used to temporarily resolve a problem while parties work towards a more permanent solution. It allows parties to live together and tolerate each other while they negotiate a more detailed and long-term agreement.

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before
Dkk
18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34
like am I expected to send it unprompted or can I wait until a school requested it
Dkk
18:35
@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.
18:36
Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough
texaslawhopefully
18:38
Yeah, then I would just wait as long as you can to send it
texaslawhopefully
18:38
For like HLS at least, if you wait till J6 then you may already have a decision
TGM
18:39
@texaslawhopefully: alas, haven’t even gotten an interview (applied around thanksgiving)
18:39
Yeah I would delay as long as you have plausible deniability
TGM
18:40
I actually do have a transcript issue that registrar needs to resolve, should I say that
TGM
18:41
(Course marked as Incomplete that’s supposed to be removed)
TGM
18:41
not sure if I should email them to say that, or just hold off on sending it and not give an excuse
18:41
I think I just wouldn’t reach out and if they ask for them then say that
Dkk
18:41
@tgm Yeah sounds good, say that if they ask
