A quick definition of nativi conventionarii:

Term: NATIVI CONVENTIONARII

Definition: Nativi conventionarii were people who were bound to work on a lord's land in exchange for protection and a place to live. They were not slaves, but they were not free either. They had to follow certain rules and could not leave without permission. They were like employees who had a contract with their employer, but they could not choose to work for someone else. This was a common practice in medieval times.

A more thorough explanation:

NATIVI CONVENTIONARII

nativi conventionarii (pronounced nə-ti-vi kən-ven-shuh-nair-ee), noun, plural. [Law Latin] A term used in history to refer to villeins who were bound by a contract.

The term nativi conventionarii refers to a group of people who were considered villeins, or peasants who were tied to the land they worked on. However, unlike other villeins who were bound by law or custom, these villeins were bound by a contract. This means that they had agreed to work for their lord in exchange for certain rights or privileges.

One example of nativi conventionarii can be found in medieval England. In the 13th century, many villeins began to negotiate contracts with their lords in order to gain more freedom and control over their lives. These contracts often included provisions for the villein to pay a fixed rent or perform certain duties in exchange for the right to live on the lord's land.

Another example can be found in ancient Rome. During the Roman Republic, some slaves were allowed to enter into contracts with their masters in order to gain their freedom. These contracts, known as nexum, allowed the slave to pay off their debt to their master and become a free person.

These examples illustrate how nativi conventionarii were different from other villeins or slaves. They had some degree of agency and were able to negotiate the terms of their servitude. However, they were still bound to their lords or masters by a legal contract, which limited their freedom and mobility.

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol
[] baddestbunny
12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think
[] baddestbunny

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI
