A quick definition of mutuum:

Term: MUTUUM

Definition: Mutuum is a type of transaction where goods are given to someone, but instead of returning the same goods, they are replaced with other goods of the same kind. This is considered a sale or exchange, not a loan. In Roman law, mutuum was a contract where the borrower received money or goods and had to return an equivalent amount. It was one of the real contracts, along with loan for use and deposit and pledge.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mutuum is a type of transaction where goods are delivered, but instead of being returned, they are replaced by other goods of the same kind. This is considered a sale or exchange, not a bailment, because the specific goods are not returned. In Roman law, mutuum was a real contract where money or fungible goods were lent to a borrower, who was strictly liable to return an equivalent amount. Any interest had to be agreed upon beforehand.

  • When John borrowed a bag of sugar from his neighbor, he promised to return the same amount of sugar. This is an example of mutuum.
  • In ancient Rome, a moneylender would lend coins to a borrower, who would have to return the same amount of coins. This is also an example of mutuum.

These examples illustrate mutuum because in both cases, the borrower is not returning the exact same goods that were borrowed. Instead, they are returning goods of the same kind or value. In the Roman law example, the borrower is strictly liable to return an equivalent amount of money or fungible goods, which means they cannot return something of lesser value.

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

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
