A quick definition of penuria testium:

Term: penuria testium

Definition: Penuria testium is a Latin term that means a scarcity of witnesses. In the past, there were rules about who could be a witness in court, and sometimes there weren't enough people who fit the criteria to testify. This made it difficult to prove certain things in court. To have a penuria testium, it wasn't enough to just have a lack of witnesses, it had to be because of the nature of the case itself.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Penuria Testium is a Latin term that means a scarcity of witnesses. In legal cases, it refers to situations where there are not enough reliable witnesses to provide evidence.

Example: In a murder trial, the prosecution may have difficulty proving their case if there are no witnesses to the crime. This would be an example of penuria testium because there is a scarcity of witnesses who can provide evidence.

Explanation: Penuria Testium is a term used in legal contexts to describe situations where there are not enough witnesses to provide evidence. This can make it difficult to prove a case, especially if the evidence is circumstantial or unreliable. In the example given, the lack of witnesses to the murder would make it difficult for the prosecution to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?

Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol

12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI
