A quick definition of propter defectum:

Propter defectum is a legal term that means a challenge based on the claim that a potential juror is not qualified to serve on any jury due to a reason such as being too young, not being a resident, or not being a citizen. It is one of several types of challenges that can be made during the jury selection process. Challenges are formal objections to the legality or qualifications of a person, action, or thing, and they are used to ensure that a fair and impartial jury is selected for a trial.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Propter defectum is a type of challenge in which a potential juror is claimed to be incompetent to serve on any jury due to a reason such as alienage, infancy, or nonresidency.

Example: During jury selection, the defense attorney made a propter defectum challenge against a potential juror who was not a resident of the state, claiming that they were not qualified to serve on any jury.

Explanation: In this example, the defense attorney is using a propter defectum challenge to argue that the potential juror is not qualified to serve on any jury due to their nonresidency. This type of challenge is based on a claim that the juror is incompetent to serve on any jury for a specific reason, and is different from other types of challenges that may be made during jury selection.

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+
this is like the schizophrenic posts JJK tik tok be putting out

if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
