neife

Read a random definition: interference-estoppel rejection

A quick definition of neife:

NEIFE: A person who was born into slavery or servitude, specifically a female slave. This term was used in the past and is not used anymore. Children of slaves were also considered slaves and were called "nativi" in Latin. Female slaves were called "neife".

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Neife (neef), n.[Law French] Hist. A person born into bondage or serfdom; specifically, a female serf. Also spelled naif; neif; niefe.

Example: "For the children of villeins were also in the same state of bondage with their parents; whence they were called in Latin, nativi, which gave rise to the female appellation of a villein, who was called a neife." (2 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 93–94 (1766))

This means that a neife is a female serf who was born into bondage or servitude. In medieval times, people who were born into serfdom were not free and had to work for their lord. They were not allowed to leave the land without permission and had to pay taxes to their lord. The example given shows how the term was used in the past and how it was related to the Latin term "nativi".

and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
