A quick definition of quarta Falcidiana:

Quarta Falcidiana: A term used in Roman law that refers to the one-fourth part of an estate that one or more heirs are allowed to keep. This is also known as the Falcidian portion. It is important to note that this portion is only applicable to forced heirs and is different from the Quarta Trebellianica.

A more thorough explanation:

QUARTA FALCIDIANA

Quarta Falcidiana is a Latin term that refers to the one-fourth part of an estate that one or more instituted heirs are entitled to retain under Roman law. It is also known as Falcidian portion. For example, if a person dies and leaves behind an estate worth $100,000, the instituted heir(s) can retain $25,000 as their quarta Falcidiana.

This concept is related to forced heir and legitime, which are legal terms used to describe the rights of heirs to inherit a portion of the estate of a deceased person. Quarta Falcidiana is different from Quarta Trebellianica, which is another legal term used in Roman law to describe the one-third part of an estate that a testator could bequeath to a person of their choice.

John's father passed away and left behind an estate worth $500,000. John was the instituted heir and was entitled to retain one-fourth of the estate as his quarta Falcidiana. Therefore, John could keep $125,000 of his father's estate, and the remaining $375,000 would be distributed among the other heirs according to the law.

This example illustrates how the concept of quarta Falcidiana works in practice. It shows that the instituted heir(s) have the right to retain a portion of the estate, which is determined by law, and the rest of the estate is distributed among the other heirs according to the rules of inheritance.

@madollyy: is that your CAS GPA?
madollyy
20:33
That's what's on my transcript! I haven't done that one yet tbh. I get mostly A's, some B's. Got dragged down a bit too much from one D in my first semester though ><
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:34
do you have any A+’s? that could help your gpa!
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:36
bc LSAC recalculates A+ to 4.3
madollyy
20:39
Noo :( Unfortunately. I'm surprised that I don't, there were definitely some classes that I remember scoring 98-100% but it doesn't show on my transcript
madollyy

Acutally

My university does not list A+
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:42
yeah my university’s the same way, so frustrating! still a great GPA and with a killer LSAT score you’ll be good to go :)
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:42
if you have the means, I’ve heard private tutoring is the way to go
madollyy
20:44
Fingers crossed! I mean I'd be so so glad to go to law school period, but I am a bit of an overachiever. Dream is Berkeley rn, but I'm of course happy to go anywhere that lines up with my plans. And is kind enough with scholarships lol
madollyy
20:44
I'll have to see if my parents are willing to support that. I'm living on my own but ik if it'd help me they'd be willing to help
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:47
who knows, you might not even need a tutor! Take a diagnostic and see where you stand :)
Dkk
21:03
@madollyy: yeah that happend to me too with my community college transcript. You can try calling to see if they can alter your transcript but like mine would not do it.
Dkk
21:04
Ask @babycat to tutor you @madollyy
cat food is expensive tho
21:09
I HOPW THAT ISNT REAL
@JumpySubsequentDolphin: I would push back on this. I think for the vast majority of people LSAT tutoring is unnecessary.
21:09
oh its from nov 12 phew
21:09
i was about to have a heart attack
21:09
at the berk decision lmao
@madollyy: I focus on bringing your GPA up as much as possible in the last semester because once you graduate you cannot change that. So don't study for the LSAT next semester if you think that would impair your ability to get straight A's. As for LSAT studying, I would recommend LSAT Demon (ik controversial), the Loophole, and Reading Comp Hero.
*I would focus

@texaslawhopefully: oh I’m not sure hahaha im just basing off of my friend who got a tutor bc she was rly struggling and it seemed like it helped her!
Yeah, that's fair! For some people it can help a lot. I'm just saying in general I don't think it is necessary unless you are trying to finetune a very specific area (or get to the high 170s because that is another thing in and of itself) OR are just terrible at the test. I tutor the test and I find that most people can improve just as much through self-study.
JumpySubsequentDolphin
21:13
that makes sense for sure
JumpySubsequentDolphin
21:13
i think for her it was a lack of discipline more than anything else tbh. she could not get herself to meaningfully study on her own
madollyy
22:05
I've finished all my major requirements, so I'm taking pretty much all electives next semester. Keeping one major specific class bc I'm majoring in it for a reason haha. But I'll be pretty free to study and try and improve my GPA. I will try self study first, see where that gets me. If that doesn't work I'll look into tutoring!
the way there probs won't be another wave until after thanksgiving LMFAO
i hate this
