remainder subject to divestment

Read a random definition: coram judice

A quick definition of remainder subject to divestment:

Remainder subject to divestment: This means that someone has the right to own something, but that right can be taken away or "divested" under certain conditions. It is similar to a defeasible remainder, which is a type of property ownership that can be lost if certain conditions are not met. Essentially, a remainder subject to divestment is a type of ownership that is not completely secure and can be lost if certain conditions are not met.

A more thorough explanation:

A remainder subject to divestment is a type of defeasible remainder, which means that the right to inherit property is not absolute and can be taken away under certain conditions. In the case of a remainder subject to divestment, the right to inherit the property is conditional upon the occurrence of a specific event or condition.

For example, if a father leaves his house to his son, but with the condition that if the son gets married, the house will go to his daughter instead, then the son has a remainder subject to divestment. If the son gets married, the condition is triggered, and the son's right to inherit the house is divested, or taken away, and the daughter becomes the new owner.

Another example could be if a person leaves a piece of land to a charity, but with the condition that the charity must use the land for a specific purpose, such as building a community center. If the charity fails to use the land for that purpose, the remainder subject to divestment would allow the property to go to another beneficiary.

These examples illustrate how a remainder subject to divestment can be used to ensure that property is used in a specific way or to provide for alternative beneficiaries if certain conditions are not met.

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol

12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI
