PRO PARTIBUS LIBERANDIS

Pro partibus liberandis is a Latin term that means "to free the portions." In legal history, it refers to a writ used to divide and distribute land among coheirs.

For example, if a person dies without a will and leaves behind multiple heirs, they may use a pro partibus liberandis writ to divide the land equally among them. This ensures that each heir receives their fair share of the inheritance.

Another example is when two or more people jointly own a property, but they want to divide it into separate portions. They can use a pro partibus liberandis writ to legally divide the property and assign each person their portion.

But do people get in without addresses going long?

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

9:46

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

What a good day to get into law school

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

soapy

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

ClassyPleasantHeron

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
