power of acceptance

A quick definition of power of acceptance:

The power of acceptance is when someone agrees to a deal that another person offered. This is important in contract law because it determines if a contract is legally binding. If someone makes an offer, the other person can accept it or decline it. If they decline it or make a different offer, the original offer is no longer valid. Sometimes people argue about whether they declined an offer or made a new one, which can cause problems.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Power of acceptance refers to the ability of one person to accept another person’s offer that is legally binding. The issue of power of acceptance arises most in contract law when disagreements arise over whether a contract offer actually was accepted.

For example, if someone offers to sell their car to another person for $10,000, the power of acceptance lies with the person who is being offered the car. They can choose to accept the offer, decline it, or make a counter-offer. If they accept the offer, a legally binding contract is formed and both parties are obligated to fulfill their end of the agreement.

However, if the person being offered the car declines the offer or makes a counter-offer, the power of acceptance is terminated by the person who made the original offer. This can lead to disputes over whether the original offer was declined or a counter-offer was made.

The power of acceptance is important in contract law because it determines whether a legally binding agreement has been formed between two parties. It is essential that both parties understand the terms of the offer and acceptance to avoid any misunderstandings or disputes.

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
letsseehowitgoesnow

so washu only called one person
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+
