A quick definition of Plain-language law:

Plain-language law: This is a type of law that says companies have to write their contracts in a way that regular people can understand. Contracts are things like rental agreements, loans, and insurance policies. This law helps people know what they're agreeing to when they sign a contract.

A more thorough explanation:

Plain-language law is a type of law that requires companies to write their contracts in simple and easy-to-understand language. This means that contracts like residential leases, loan agreements, software licenses, and insurance contracts should be written in a way that regular people can understand.

  • A residential lease is an example of a contract that should be written in plain language. This is because people who rent apartments or houses need to understand the terms of their lease so they know what they are agreeing to.
  • A loan agreement is another example of a contract that should be written in plain language. People who borrow money need to understand the terms of their loan so they know how much they will have to pay back and when.
  • Software licenses are also contracts that should be written in plain language. People who use software need to understand the terms of the license so they know what they can and cannot do with the software.
  • Insurance contracts are another example of contracts that should be written in plain language. People who buy insurance need to understand what is covered and what is not covered so they can make informed decisions about their coverage.

These examples illustrate the importance of plain-language law. By requiring companies to write their contracts in simple and easy-to-understand language, people can make informed decisions about the products and services they are buying.

I just noticed that UMich has the majority of their acceptances really early on. Does anyone know what happens to mid-November applicants? Are we just cooked?

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27

@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34

Dkk
18:35
@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.

Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough
