Term: QUIA ITA LEX SCRIPTA EST

A more thorough explanation:

QUIA ITA LEX SCRIPTA EST

Quia ita lex scripta est is a Latin phrase that means "because the law is so written." It refers to the fact that a law or statute must be followed exactly as it is written, without any interpretation or deviation.

For example, if a law states that a person must be 18 years old to vote, then anyone who is not 18 years old cannot legally vote. Even if someone is only a few months away from turning 18, they cannot vote until they reach the age specified in the law. This is because the law is so written, and it must be followed exactly as it is written.

Another example is if a law states that a certain action is illegal, then anyone who performs that action is breaking the law. Even if someone did not know that the action was illegal or did not intend to break the law, they can still be punished for their actions. This is because the law is so written, and it must be followed exactly as it is written.

The examples illustrate the definition of quia ita lex scripta est by showing that laws must be followed exactly as they are written, without any interpretation or deviation. This means that even if someone thinks that they have a good reason for breaking the law or that their situation is different from what is specified in the law, they cannot legally do so. The law is the law, and it must be followed as it is written.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.

I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
