nondisclosure agreement

Read a random definition: jus positivum

A quick definition of nondisclosure agreement:

A nondisclosure agreement (NDA) is a contract that says you promise to keep a secret. If you sign an NDA, you can't tell anyone else what you learned or saw. This is used to protect important information, like secrets about a company or a new invention. If you break the NDA and tell someone the secret, you can get in trouble and be sued. The NDA can last forever or have an end date. It's important to follow the NDA to protect the person or company who shared the secret with you.

A more thorough explanation:

A nondisclosure agreement (NDA) is a legal contract that ensures certain information remains confidential. When someone signs an NDA, they agree not to share any information included in the contract with anyone who is not authorized to know it. NDAs are commonly used to protect trade secrets, client information, and other sensitive or valuable information.

For example, if a company is developing a new product, they may require employees or contractors to sign an NDA to prevent them from sharing any details about the product with competitors or the public. Similarly, if a business is sharing confidential financial information with a potential investor, they may require the investor to sign an NDA to protect that information.

If someone violates an NDA by sharing confidential information, they can be sued for breach of contract. NDAs can last indefinitely or have a specific end date. However, courts will only enforce NDAs to the extent necessary to protect the interests of the party who created the agreement.

I just noticed that UMich has the majority of their acceptances really early on. Does anyone know what happens to mid-November applicants? Are we just cooked?

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before
Dkk
18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34
like am I expected to send it unprompted or can I wait until a school requested it
Dkk
18:35
@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.
18:36
Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough
texaslawhopefully
18:38
Yeah, then I would just wait as long as you can to send it
texaslawhopefully
18:38
For like HLS at least, if you wait till J6 then you may already have a decision
TGM
18:39
@texaslawhopefully: alas, haven’t even gotten an interview (applied around thanksgiving)
18:39
Yeah I would delay as long as you have plausible deniability
TGM
18:40
I actually do have a transcript issue that registrar needs to resolve, should I say that
TGM
18:41
(Course marked as Incomplete that’s supposed to be removed)
TGM
18:41
not sure if I should email them to say that, or just hold off on sending it and not give an excuse
18:41
I think I just wouldn’t reach out and if they ask for them then say that
Dkk
18:41

I want to meet an attorney that defends clients who run into flat earth problems. I want an attorney that knows and believes in flat earth theory.
