A quick definition of natural equity:

Natural equity refers to fairness and impartiality in dealing with others. It is a set of principles that determine what is right and fair. It is often used to correct or supplement the law when it does not fully address an issue. Natural equity is also known as natural justice. It is important to note that while natural justice is not always enforced by the courts, it is still a guiding principle for individuals to follow in their own conscience.

A more thorough explanation:

Natural equity is a concept of fairness and impartiality in dealing with others. It is based on the body of principles that constitute what is fair and right, also known as natural law. Natural equity is often used to correct or supplement the law as applied to particular circumstances.

For example, a judge may decide a case by equity because the statute did not fully address the issue. This means that the judge used principles of justice to make a fair decision, even if it was not explicitly stated in the law.

Another example of natural equity is the idea of countervailing equity, which is a balancing equity that is equally deserving of consideration. This means that when there are conflicting interests, the court must consider both sides and make a fair decision based on the principles of natural equity.

Overall, natural equity is about treating others fairly and justly, even if it means going beyond what is explicitly stated in the law.

gtown: An optional response is another way for the Admissions Committee to get to know you. If you wish, we encourage you to submit a 250-word statement or one minute video, as applicable, for any of the following: 1. What’s the best (or worst) piece of advice you ever received? 2. If you could “uninvent” one thing, what would it be? 3. Tell us about a moment in your life that you regret. 4. Describe your perfect day. 5. Share a top ten list with us.
4.0 / 178 but KJD, what’re the chances I’ll get into Duke or Harvard or Yale?

KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake

im this close to not applying to Harvard for the sheer fact that I don't want to fix my essays to fit their prompt
lol I get that urge. I ended up just splitting my personal statement and filling it out a bit
23:42

Yes
23:57

@InsipidLemon: really depends on how much they like you. Some schools will give it to you unsolicited, others you must ask.
