A quick definition of paction:

Term: PACTION

Definition: Paction means an agreement between two countries that can be completed by a single action. It is a term used in international law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Paction (pak-shən) is a legal term that refers to an agreement between two nations that is to be carried out through a single act.

Example 1: The two countries signed a paction to establish a joint military base in the region.

Example 2: The paction between the two nations allowed for the extradition of criminals between their respective countries.

These examples illustrate how a paction is a specific type of agreement between two nations that is designed to be carried out through a single act. In the first example, the establishment of a joint military base is a complex undertaking that requires a lot of planning and coordination. However, the paction simplifies the process by allowing the two nations to agree on the terms of the base in advance and then carry out the construction and staffing of the base through a single act. In the second example, the paction allows for the extradition of criminals between the two nations. This is a complex legal process that involves many different steps, but the paction simplifies the process by allowing the two nations to agree on the terms of the extradition in advance and then carry out the transfer of the criminal through a single act.

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:53

you do have to write new personal statements but applicants aren’t disfavored

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:53

especially if you’re reapplying with a higher lsat

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: i just looked at your stats and do not take this the wrong way in any way but how the hell did nyu or cls not take you. this is insane

178 lsat is a crazy work dude

i had a silly guy era and had two years of withdrawn classes. like 15 total, so a lot of schools were not willing to take a chance on me

If you're already on the WL when you get a higher LSAT, are you already cooked?

VolatileClumsyAcolyte

their loss lol. any tips for LSAT LR? I used 7sage and kinda hated it. I have Loophole that I plan on using whenever I retake lsat probably in summer

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:58

@soap: you are more cooked than if you were not already waitlisted, but you are not completely cooked and raising your lsat is the strongest thing you can do for a WL

Volatile, I always do the hardest ones first, so that you get the most challenging questions out of the way and make it get easier as you proceed. Also, read the answer choices before reading the question.

Man if I get above 175 and end up not getting into any t14s I'll laugh

@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: biggest tip that will get you a few points is that the LSAT doesn’t actually use “most correct” like it claims. there’s actually only ever one right answer and every other answer will be excluded by one rule of logic or another. so only one answer will ever be completely correct

is there like a cheat sheet or a study guide type of thing for specific forms of questions? I remember I struggled the most with NA/SA/PSA

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:59

@soap: if you get above a 175 you should just reapply because you’d probably be competitive for penn nyu and cls at that point with scholly money

I scored 156 on my first LSAT in August, I cancelled that and retook it immediately in September and got 163. Do yall think I can cross into 170's if I start studying from like january to summer

VolatileClumsyAcolyte

14:00

because i've heard that any score increase after 165 is just as hard as from 145 to 160

soap

14:01

I've been told by my parents that I cannot reapply because I have the full ride to UMN and so I better take whatever I can get lol

I’m going to have to disagree with soap on the point of doing the hardest questions first. I think it’s just a general waste of time to over complicate your strategy. You’re going to have do all the questions anyone. Ignore the clock and focus on one question at a time.

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: it gets harder to increase your score as you go up, but if you work hard and consistently work on your mistakes it’s entirely possible you break 170

got it thank u guys

@soap: lol oh well just get top 10% a umn and then transfer to harvard because you come from a grade deflated undergrad and law school will be easy for you

soap

14:02

I think the order in which you do questions is a matter of personal preference. In PTs I've always scored better doing the hardest ones first, but that's just because it reduces the stress personally lol

soap

14:02

I guess since I'm paying for all this anyhow I could just wait and reapply lmao

texaslawhopefully

14:03

Yeah soap if you get a 175+, I would 100 percent reapply

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:03

hahahahah sure if you’re set on t14 it’s entirely attainable for you

If your parents aren’t helping at all, they don’t have much of a say
