nolo

Nolo is a Latin word that is commonly used in the legal term "nolo contendere." It means "I do not want," "I do not wish," or "I choose not to."

One example of the use of nolo is in the legal term "nolo contendere," which means "I do not wish to contest." This term is used when a defendant in a criminal case does not want to plead guilty or not guilty, but instead chooses to accept the punishment without admitting guilt.

Another example of the use of nolo is in the phrase "nolo episcopari," which means "I do not wish to be a bishop." This phrase is sometimes used by individuals who are being considered for a position of authority but do not want the responsibility that comes with it.

The examples illustrate how nolo is used to express a lack of desire or willingness to do something. In the legal term "nolo contendere," the defendant is choosing not to contest the charges against them. In the phrase "nolo episcopari," the individual is expressing that they do not want the responsibility of being a bishop. Both examples show how nolo is used to indicate a decision not to do something.

Their admissions office is actually top tier, had a problem with a letter of rec that went out to all schools and they personally emailed me and made sure it got fixed. Rocketed them up my internal ranking fs
