Natural resources

Read a random definition: counterfeisance

A quick definition of Natural resources:

Natural resources are things that come from nature and are useful to people. They include things like land, water, air, plants, animals, and minerals. These resources are owned and managed by governments, and there are laws to protect them. Some laws are about conserving natural resources, while others are about using them to make energy.

A more thorough explanation:

Natural resources refer to the materials and substances that occur naturally in the environment and are used by humans for various purposes. These resources include:

  • Land
  • Fish and wildlife
  • Air
  • Water
  • Groundwater
  • Drinking water supplies

These resources are owned, managed, and controlled by governments, both in the United States and abroad. Laws and regulations are in place to protect these resources and ensure their sustainable use for future generations.

For example, the Clean Water Act is a federal law in the United States that regulates the discharge of pollutants into the nation's surface waters, including lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands. This law helps to protect the quality of the country's water resources and ensure that they are safe for drinking, swimming, and other uses.

Another example is the Endangered Species Act, which is a federal law that protects endangered and threatened species and their habitats. This law helps to ensure that these species are not driven to extinction and that their ecosystems remain healthy and intact.

@EvolBunny: there are 198 ABA accredited schools in the US
the vast majority of 170+ are enrolling at T20's--that's the only way they keep a 170 median lmao

just claim what you want in life in applications and then it can change in law school as ur exposed to stuff
@babycat: I don't think so, assuming that you have a cohesive why law and actually did stuff in undergrad. I mean ofc your application will always be stronger given work experience, but I don't think KJD status on its own "hurts" your application.
12:45
best thing you can do as a sub 3 is clear Wash U's median and go there, which I'm going to try to do in January if I don't hear from UGA before the deadline to sign up (Dec 3)

I'm just saying this as a hypothetical. people say urm boost is the equivalent of x LSAT point increase. was just wondering if there was an equivalent kJD decrease
I think you guys think about yourselves too much. All you can do is put together a well rounded application and simply wait!
@EvolBunny: I think you just proved yourself wrong lmao. It is showing 50 percent of people with those stats getting into WashU.
"@JumpySubsequentDolphin: you know schools that are like 350th ranked have people with 170+ lsats, right? GPA and all that does play a role and bruce is likely not getting what he wants"

actually the opposite of thinking about myself I just want to see what other people think

@texaslawhopefully: is washu the entire t20? Or notorious for letting applicants redact gpa or lsat? Like okay i guess washu, what about the rest? Buddy literally said he is a nothing candidate except high lsat. No EC, WE, minority status, right skin color, military, in state, etc. That means he will be fucked by the t20, except maybe washu
12:49
I also never said I only wanted to go to a T20
@EvolBunny: You're stupid af. Did you read what he said. He said fucking WashU.
And, yes, most people with a 170+ will go to the T20 because at the very least since the T20 pretty much all has a 170+ LSAT median they need at least 3k people a year with a 170+ to maintain those medians (given about 6k people enroll in the T20).
And there's only 4k people a year with a 170+.

@babycat: That KJD question is a legit one, I wonder if there is enough data out there to show it as there is data that makes people think URM is a point boost

I just got my second decision of the day (:
12:52
you are a fucking idiot, Do you think every 170+ is in the t20? Some people want to inherit daddy's judge position and local connections and only needed a 155 but shit out a 173. Okay, go look at the schools yourself. Surely you will find ONLY 170s in the t20 and nowhere else! fucking tool. Also, there are only 4400ish people in the t14 and the median is like 171 lmfao they do not want ONLY 170+s

unless you participated in a million clubs or had legit internships idk how kjds do so well honestly
starfishies
12:53
nothing against kjds just heard a ton of advice that you should work before applying
@EvolBunny: I said the vast majority dumbass. There's only 4k people with a 170+ and 6k people in the T20. The lowest LSAT median in the T20 is 169, so yes the vast majority of people (as in 70ish percent) with a 170+ are going to the T14.

I think some of that comes from a feeling that law school is a major commitment and you should be sure about it moreso than the value of the work experience
babycat
12:54
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: right? would love to see some analysis on this
babycat
12:55
I feel like as you get more WE you have diminishing returns. Not sure someone with 20 years of work is valued more than 5 or 10 unless it's been ground-breaking stuff
babycat

realizing now the correct spelling of groundbreaking is unhyphenated. I knew it looked wrong

I think it has to be proffesional or law related kind of work experience to mean anything significant. Entry level assistant jobs people get fresh from college has to be like ehhhh.
