Simple English definitions for legal terms

remit

Read a random definition: vassus

A quick definition of remit:

Remit means to forgive or pardon someone for something they did wrong. It can also mean to make something less severe or to refer a decision to someone else. For example, a court might remit a case back to a lower court for further investigation. Remit can also mean to send money to someone, like paying a bill or sending a gift.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To pardon or forgive; to abate or slacken; to refer a matter for decision to some authority; to send or put back to a previous condition or position; to transmit (as money).

  • The wife could not remit her husband's infidelity.
  • The receipt of money damages remitted the embarrassment of being fired.
  • The appellate court remitted the case to the trial court for further factual determinations.
  • A landlord's breach of a lease does not justify the tenant's refusal to pay rent; instead, the tenant is remitted to the right to recover damages.
  • Upon receiving the demand letter, she promptly remitted the amount due.

The first example illustrates the definition of remit as to pardon or forgive. The wife cannot forgive her husband's infidelity. The second example illustrates the definition of remit as to abate or slacken. The receipt of money damages lessened the embarrassment of being fired. The third example illustrates the definition of remit as to refer a matter for decision to some authority. The appellate court sent the case back to the trial court for further factual determinations. The fourth example illustrates the definition of remit as to send or put back to a previous condition or position. The tenant cannot refuse to pay rent but can recover damages. The fifth example illustrates the definition of remit as to transmit (as money). The person promptly sent the amount due upon receiving the demand letter.

no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+

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
