A quick definition of non constat:

Term: NON CONSTAT

Definition: Non constat means that something is not certain or agreed upon. It is often used to say that a conclusion does not necessarily follow even though it may seem like it does. It is like saying "we're not sure" or "it's not settled." For example, in a court case, someone might argue that a declaration is not good because it is not certain whether a person was old enough to take legal action at the time. Non constat is a way of expressing dissatisfaction with a conclusion that someone else has made.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Non constat (non kon-stat) is a Latin term that means "it is not settled." It is used to express uncertainty or disagreement about a conclusion that may seem to follow but is not necessarily true.

Example: In a legal case, a lawyer might argue that the evidence presented by the other side is not sufficient to prove their case because it is non constat whether the defendant was present at the scene of the crime.

Explanation: This example illustrates how non constat can be used to challenge a conclusion that may seem to follow from the evidence presented. The lawyer is saying that even though the other side may have presented evidence that suggests the defendant was at the scene of the crime, it is not certain or agreed upon that this is true. Therefore, the conclusion that the defendant is guilty cannot be considered settled.

@s95: My cousin is an immigration attorney who recently argued in front of the supreme court. He attended the University of Houston for law school. There are so many good schools for immigration law, countless clinics.

@s95: The higher the rank though basically means more opportunities possibly with a debt trade off. It's hard for me to say more without knowing your goals though. Awesome you already have an idea what you want to do as a lawyer!

I would research immigration law clinics
@s95: generally school specialties are kind of silly. it’s usually the rank of the school that determines the opportunities you can get from it across the board
with caveats for strong regional schools with a regional focus and so on
