reconversion

Read a random definition: violent crime

A quick definition of reconversion:

Reconversion is when something that was changed before is changed back to its original form. For example, if a toy was turned into a book, reconversion would turn the book back into a toy. Equitable conversion is a type of reconversion where real property (like a house) is treated like personal property (like money) in certain situations. Conversion can also mean taking someone else's property without permission, which is wrong. There are different types of conversion, like taking something, destroying it, or giving it to someone else. Involuntary conversion is when something is lost or destroyed without anyone meaning to do it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Reconversion is the process of undoing a previous conversion of property, which means changing it from one form to another. For example, if personal property was changed into real property, reconversion would change it back to personal property. This is also known as equitable conversion.

Examples:

  • When a seller agrees to sell their house to a buyer, the buyer acquires equitable title to the property, while the seller retains legal title. This means that the buyer has the right to possess the property, but the seller still technically owns it. If the buyer fulfills their obligations under the contract, they will acquire legal title to the property. This is an example of equitable conversion.
  • Another example of reconversion is when a piece of real estate is converted into a condominium, and then later converted back into a single-family home.

These examples illustrate how reconversion works by reversing a previous conversion of property. In the first example, the property is converted from real property to personal property (the right to possess the property), and then back to real property (legal ownership). In the second example, the property is converted from a single-family home to a condominium, and then back to a single-family home.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
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."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to

but that's literally just going off vibes
it looks like Berk vid is in response to a known prompt. My thinking is it may be a counter to AI by getting people to have to respond to what is essentially an essay prompt but on video
"I think really it’s more the USNWR change that emphasizes employment outcomes in school rankings. Schools want to admit people who have the skills to be more likely to land great jobs even more than before, and being a good interviewer is a very important for that. They want to see you have the soft skills." from a reddit comment

One funny thing when talking to lawyers at work is that they will always say how they wish more law schools had interviews to make sure you can like... talk to people and form sentences
getting lunch no one say anything funny or do anything cool for 15 mins
