A quick definition of nul tort:

Term: nul tort

Definition: Nul tort means "no wrong" in Law French. It is a type of general denial used in legal cases where someone is trying to recover land or property. When a defendant uses nul tort, they are claiming that they did not do anything wrong. This plea is called the general issue because it denies the entire claim without offering any specific defense. It is used in real actions, such as nul disseisin (no dispossession) and writ of right (tenant has more right to hold than the demandant has to demand).

A more thorough explanation:

Nul tort is a type of general denial used in legal cases where someone is trying to recover land or property. It comes from the Law French phrase "no wrong." When someone uses nul tort, they are claiming that they did not do anything wrong and should not be held responsible for the damages or losses the other party is claiming.

For example, if someone sues their neighbor for cutting down trees on their property without permission, the neighbor might use nul tort as a defense. They would argue that they did not do anything wrong and did not damage the other person's property.

In another example, if a landlord is being sued by a tenant for not making necessary repairs to the rental property, the landlord might use nul tort as a defense. They would argue that they did not do anything wrong and that the tenant's claims are unfounded.

These examples illustrate how nul tort is used as a defense in legal cases to deny any wrongdoing and avoid being held responsible for damages or losses.

Hi everyone! Decided a bit too late that I wanted to go into law. GPA currently stands at 3.76 (one more semester to go) and I'm interested in going into immigration law. Anybody got any advice for LSAT studying and applications? I plan on taking a gap year to have some time for internships and such :)

Apply for the LSAT fee waiver to try to mitigate the cost of materials! 7Sage is $1 for a year if you have the fee waiver. I also think you should try to work in an immigration firm in some way to see if it’s something you really want to pursue and to add to your resume. Good luck!!! One tip I would also give is to not sign up for the LSAT until you’re practice tests average are around the score you’re aiming for
