note of protest

Read a random definition: judgment notwithstanding the verdict

A quick definition of note of protest:

A note of protest is a written statement by a notary public that a negotiable instrument, such as a check or promissory note, was not paid or accepted when presented. It is a way to formally express disapproval or dissent and to preserve a claim or right. The notary's memo includes the date, amount, and cause of dishonor, and is charged to the memory of the notary. A note of protest can also refer to a formal statement disputing the legality or validity of a debt while agreeing to make payment, or to a taxpayer's statement that payment is being made unwillingly because the tax is believed to be invalid. In international law, a note of protest is a formal communication objecting to conduct or a claim by another subject as violating international law.

A more thorough explanation:

A note of protest is a preliminary memo made by a notary public stating that a negotiable instrument, such as a check or promissory note, was not paid or accepted when presented. This memo is formalized at a later time and is called a protest. A protest is a formal statement or action expressing dissent or disapproval.

  • When a check is presented to a bank and there are insufficient funds to cover it, the bank may issue a note of protest to the person who presented the check.
  • If a promissory note is not paid on the due date, a notary public may issue a note of protest to the person who signed the note.
  • A company may issue a note of protest disputing a debt's legality or validity but agreeing to make payment while reserving the right to recover the amount at a later time.

These examples illustrate how a note of protest is used to formally document that a negotiable instrument was not paid or accepted when presented. It is an important legal document that can be used to preserve a claim or right.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: aw of course I want you around but I was thinking of the 7sage diversity statement in their admissions course where this guy writes about how he and his wife take in foster kids. he got into NW with below median LSAT. you have significant past adversity and interesting work experience I would shoot your shot

and I honestly don't think the t14 require significantly more intellect than any other law school. the content is pretty much the same
15:44
the rigor of the T14 law schools is almost entirely the result of who they allow to attend

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

but doesn’t grade inflation at the top schools almost make it easier to get higher grades than it does at >t14
babycat

@info-man: agreed
babycat
15:48
just my opinion but grade inflation is probably more of an undergrad thing since law school grades tend to be on a curve

While representing himself in court, McKinley's sentence was reduced from 100 years to 25, a sentence he served in full. While still incarcerated, he took the LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, and applied to law school - no shit, thats impressive how much he lowered his sentence being pro say
