quorum bonorum

Read a random definition: Nondelegation Doctrine

A quick definition of quorum bonorum:

Quorum Bonorum: A legal term from Roman law that allowed a person to take possession of an estate.

Bonorum Possessio Contra Tabulas: Another legal term from Roman law that allowed a person to take possession of an estate even if it went against the terms of the will. This was only allowed in certain cases, such as when a daughter or an emancipated son was passed over in the will. The legacies in the will remained valid, but if any male in the testator's power was passed over, the will was invalidated and intestacy resulted.

A more thorough explanation:

QUORUM BONORUM

Quorum bonorum is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to a praetorian interdict that allowed a person to take possession of an estate.

bonorum possessio contra tabulas

Bonorum possessio contra tabulas is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to an order that authorized the applicant to take possession of an estate contrary to the testament. Magistrates made such orders in certain cases, as where a testator passed over a daughter or an emancipated son who was not expressly disinherited.

For example, if a father passed away and did not include his son in his will, the son could apply for bonorum possessio contra tabulas to take possession of the estate. The legacies in the will remained valid, but if the testator passed over any male in the testator's power (patria potestas), the will was invalidated and intestacy resulted.

Another example is if a testator passed over a daughter or an emancipated son who was not expressly disinherited, the daughter or son could apply for bonorum possessio contra tabulas to take possession of the estate.

These examples illustrate how bonorum possessio contra tabulas was used to allow individuals to take possession of an estate even if they were not included in the will or testament.

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

@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.

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.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
