A quick definition of pluris petitio:

Pluris petitio is a Latin term that means "overclaim" or "claiming too much". It refers to a mistake made by someone who asks for more than they are owed. This was a big problem in ancient Roman law, and it could cause a person to lose their case. However, in some cases, the person could still continue their case, but they might have to pay extra damages to the other person. Today, this term is not used very often, but it is still important to be honest and fair when making claims.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Pluris petitio is a Latin term that means "overclaim" or "claiming too much." In Roman law, it refers to a claim for more than what is due, especially when a person claims more in their pleadings than what is actually owed.

For example, if a person sues someone for $10,000 when they are only owed $5,000, this would be considered a pluris petitio. This mistake of overclaiming was fatal to the action under classical law. However, under cognitio extraordinaria, a claimant could continue the action but could be liable for treble damages to any person injured by the overstated claim.

It's important to note that a plaintiff may overclaim in different ways, such as in substance, time, place, or cause. For instance, a plaintiff may claim a bigger amount than what is due to them, claim before the payment is due, claim at a place other than where the payment had to be performed, or claim a certain thing although the debtor had the right to choose between two or more things.

After the abolition of the formula-regime, the pluspetitio lost its actuality. Imperial legislation modified the severe provisions against overclaims. In Justinian's law, the plaintiff lost the case only if they maliciously persisted during the whole trial in their overclaim.

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+
