nul disseisin

Read a random definition: ad coelum doctrine

A quick definition of nul disseisin:

Term: NUL DISSEISIN

Definition: NUL DISSEISIN is a legal term that means "no dispossession." It is used as a defense in a real action when a defendant claims that the plaintiff was not wrongfully deprived of the possession of any land or property. Disseisin, on the other hand, is the act of wrongfully taking someone's property or land. There are different types of disseisin, such as disseisin by election, equitable disseisin, and fresh disseisin. Disseisin by election is a legal fiction that allows a property owner to claim that they have been disseised, even if it's not true, to have a remedy against an adverse claimant. Equitable disseisin is the wrongful deprivation of the equitable ownership, possession, or the fruits of ownership or possession. Fresh disseisin is the right of a person who has been disseised of land to forcefully eject the disseisor from the land without resorting to law, as long as the ejection occurred soon after the disseisin.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Nul disseisin is a plea made by a defendant in a real action, claiming that the plaintiff was not wrongfully deprived of the possession of any land or tenements. Disseisin, on the other hand, refers to the act of wrongfully depriving someone of the freehold possession of property.

Examples:

  • Disseisin by election: This is a legal fiction that allows a property owner to claim that they have been disseised, even if it is not true, in order to have a remedy against an adverse claimant.
  • Equitable disseisin: This refers to the wrongful deprivation of the equitable ownership, possession, or the fruits of ownership or possession.
  • Fresh disseisin: This is the right at common law of a person disseised of land to forcefully eject the disseisor from the land without resort to law, as long as the ejection occurred soon after the disseisin.

These examples illustrate the different types of disseisin and how they relate to the wrongful deprivation of property ownership or possession. Nul disseisin, in particular, is a plea made by a defendant to deny that they have wrongfully deprived the plaintiff of possession of any land or tenements.

UCI hella liberal and trans. I think you would like it. More liberal than like Berk and UCLA if you can imagine. @Eggan

I did astrophysics for 3 years and hated it. Dropped out of my first college cus of it. @limpweeny

Do not recommend studying physics. Super boring, a lot of math, and most results are not replicable.

Ill say this though. I studied a lot of Otto Hahn and was happy to see him at the start of Oppenheimer. Made a little appearance. Nice tribute.
19:08
@Dkk: i know the makeup of UCI but im not from california and i didn't like how i'd have to be isolated from the labor movement since it's not very close to LA and OC is mostly a bunch of rich people tbh
19:09
i like berk's proximity to san francisco. the bay area is full of surprises when it comes to labor
19:11
thats why i'm mostly centered on cities with major labor activity this cycle (besides chicago) such as NYC, boston DC (where the union headquarters usually are)
19:11
Anyone else hella concerned w the uptick in applicants? Not sure if I can use the LSD data of the past to reference
some dean said they're only expecting 5-15% increase over the whole cycle, still not great, but not 30% like currently
19:15
Ohhh okay thank goodness. I saw +38% and lowk got scared
19:16
That doesn’t seem too bad if they increase class size by a bit 🙏

19:23
Ahh that is true but OC Disney Unions. Can always be involved in those. Some of the biggest unions in California. I was part of that for a couple years but my union was corrupt. @Eggan

Berk is definitely more fun. Unions in LA are of course the screen actors guild and then hospitality stuff like restaurants. It will be good wherever you go imo if that is what you are into.

@sadpadresfan: yeah, Spivey said the same thing wasp pointed out. 30% to start to 15% at the end. I think part of it may also be people just want more variety. Maybe a similar amount of applicants but more variety. More waitlist movement potentially this year. Schools fighting harder for people.
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: the NU dean. Him and Spivey did a podcast on it.
And if you look at the numbers they're starting to come down. A couple weeks ago we were up 36 percent up, now we're only 26 percent up.

@texaslawhopefully: if you are trying to do texas law, why not go to UT Austin. Probably better scholarships for you compared to Harvard and its a pipeline. Unless, of course, scholarships don't matter in your case.
i studied hard stem but i just hate being in an actual lab lol
depends on the type of lab work that you do, the only thing i did enjoy doing was bacterial genetics because that shit is super fast and fun, but working in a wet lab is just a lottttt of sitting and waiting around
hence law, lmao
@NotJustALawyer: I'm trying to do an appellate clerkship and the very top schools just have better placement. And yes, I'm still considering UT, but I think with my numbers I can get scholarship money at most of the T14.
Also I made my username before I had my lsat back and then UT was my top choice, but I’ve been somewhat open geographically. I also have ties to Texas so I don’t think it’d be hard to get back here if I left the state for law school.
