Read a random definition: ante mortem interest

A quick definition of publication:

A publication is when something is made known to the public. This can be done to share knowledge or give notice. In copyright law, publication means distributing copies of a work to the public by selling or transferring ownership. It can also include offering copies to a group of people for further distribution or display. Publicly performing or displaying a work does not count as publication. Publication usually happens when copies of the work are first made available to the public.

A more thorough explanation:

A publication is the act of making something known to the public. This can be done to share knowledge or give notice. In copyright law, publication has a specific meaning. According to 17 U.S.C. §101, publication is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership. This means that when a work is made available to the public, it is considered published.

  • A newspaper article is a publication because it is made available to the public to read.
  • A book is published when copies are made available for sale in bookstores or online.
  • A scientific study is published when it is printed in a journal and made available to other researchers to read and cite.

These examples illustrate how publication involves making something available to the public. When a newspaper article is published, it is printed and distributed to readers. When a book is published, it is printed and made available for purchase. When a scientific study is published, it is printed in a journal and made available to other researchers to read and cite.

@llama: There was one guy who did it successfully last year, I'll see if I can find the post for you. Absolutely not a normal practice though -- nor should it be!

Imagine if you were trying to apply to law school and half the seats were already taken by schmucks from last year's waitlist
20:52
@crabapple: I would LOL. Real shyster move tho, you rite.
20:53
@Arianq4: 1. Move. 2. Pursue other, non legal work, then take a year after UG to work if u wish
20:54
A shyster: is a person who is dishonest or unethical, especially in the practice of law. The term is often used as a derogatory term for lawyers. pinnacle word choice imo.
@crabapple: mich puts it out as an option and said in a waitlist session this year that they want to take more people than normal this way due to app volume
it makes sense for me because I got a new opportunity for a year and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask
was there a vandy wave today? seems like a small one

there are plenty of "good" regional non-T14 law schools by employment standards. but i assume u mean T14 or T20

@ReadyThinWerewolf: Yeah, I mean you got like Berk this year that hasn't dipped under 3.6. Some are like that.
0:46
nm they dipped under for like idk 10 fucking people.
0:46
Yeah, if you dont have at least a 3.7 it means you fucked around and didn't try hard in undergrad.
0:48
Here we will do Yale. 3 people got in lower than a 3.75. So yeah, some schools are practically unreachable without some insane soft if you don't have a good gpa.
@ReadyThinWerewolf: Depends on what you consider a good school and low GPA. For t14, usually but not necessarily. As another said, some schools are very likely a no-go, like Yale and Berk. But Stanford can be a bit of an outlier. But if you’re talking a really low GPA, then you have to reset your expectations and focus on a regional school that will get you what you want
At Berkeley, for instance, a low GPA is essentially an auto-R. They only accept one or two sub 3.0 GPAs a year
