plea in equity

Read a random definition: Bruton error

A quick definition of plea in equity:

A plea in equity is a formal response given by someone who is accused of a crime. It can be "guilty," "not guilty," or "no contest." A guilty plea means the person admits to committing the crime, while a not guilty plea means they deny it. A plea in equity can also be used in civil cases, where it is a statement made by the defendant in response to the plaintiff's claim. It can be used to challenge the jurisdiction of the court or the method of asserting the claim, but it does not dispute the claim's merits.

A more thorough explanation:

A plea in equity is a type of legal defense used in civil cases. It is a request made by the defendant to the court to consider fairness and justice in addition to the strict application of the law.

For example, if a plaintiff is seeking to enforce a contract against a defendant, the defendant may argue that the contract is unfair or unconscionable and ask the court to consider this in their decision. This is a plea in equity.

Another example is if a plaintiff is seeking an injunction to stop a defendant from engaging in a certain activity, the defendant may argue that the injunction would cause them undue hardship and ask the court to consider this in their decision. This is also a plea in equity.

13:01

dude that's crazy. took the lsat april 2024 and has tech issues as well but they didn't cancel my score wtf!!!
13:01

13:02

13:02

13:06
do we think most decisions will be out soon
13:06
seat deposits are soon
I speculate a wave before April 15th
i assumed they would be out by april 1 but i was clearly very wrong who knows
But tf do I know
i feel like it has to be by april 15, but read on reddit that NYU said they will get all decisions out by april 30th
13:07
i think i might pass on hofstra but I'll visit first and negotiate my aid
13:09
I'm guessing some schools will wait until after their 4/15 seat deposit dates to see how much they have left to give before sending another wave
NYU admissions is seemingly having a stroke this cycle though so
that makes sense @darkeagle
