A quick definition of or:

Term: or

Definition: "Or" is a word that means you have a choice between two things. For example, if you see a sign that says "Hot dogs or hamburgers," you can choose to have either a hot dog or a hamburger. When it comes to legal documents, "or" is used to show that one person or the other has the right to do something. For instance, if a car is owned by "Mary or Bill Davidson," it means that either Mary or Bill can sell or transfer the car, but not both of them together.

A more thorough explanation:

or

Conjunction used to present a choice between two options. It means "either" or "in the alternative."

  • "Do you want pizza or pasta for dinner?"
  • "You can choose to study French or Spanish in school."
  • "The concert is on Saturday or Sunday."

These examples illustrate how "or" is used to present a choice between two options. In the first example, the choice is between pizza or pasta. In the second example, the choice is between studying French or Spanish. In the third example, the choice is between attending the concert on Saturday or Sunday.

It is important to note that "or" is different from "and." When "or" is used, only one of the options can be chosen. When "and" is used, both options must be chosen.

Understanding the difference between "or" and "and" is important in legal documents, such as contracts and titles. For example, if a car title is written as "Mary or Bill Davidson," either Mary or Bill can transfer the car. However, if the title is written as "Mary and Bill Davidson," both Mary and Bill must sign to change the title.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
