Simple English definitions for legal terms

rule nisi

Read a random definition: jus positivum

A quick definition of rule nisi:

A rule nisi is a court order that will become final unless someone shows the court why it should be changed. It's like a temporary decision that can become permanent if no one objects. A decree is a final decision made by a court, either in a specific type of case like divorce or probate, or as a general judgment. Sometimes the parties involved agree to the terms of the decree, which is called an agreed or consent decree. There are different types of decrees depending on the situation, like a custody decree for child custody or a decree of nullity for declaring a marriage void.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A court's decree that will become absolute unless the adversely affected party shows the court, within a specified time, why it should be set aside.

Example: In a divorce case, a rule nisi may be issued to grant temporary custody of children to one parent until a final custody hearing can be held. The other parent has a specified time to show the court why the rule should be set aside or modified.

Explanation: A rule nisi is a temporary court order that becomes final unless the adversely affected party can show the court why it should be changed or set aside. In the example given, the rule nisi grants temporary custody to one parent until a final custody hearing can be held. The other parent has a specified time to present evidence to the court as to why the rule should be changed or set aside. If no evidence is presented, the rule becomes final and the temporary custody arrangement remains in place until the final hearing.

I’m at the point in this process where the glimmers of hope have faded and at this point I just want these schools to reject me and get it over with rather than jerk me around until July.

Yeah some of those schools I applied to on a whim last minute. Mostly bummed about Touro. Thought I had a shot at getting in a lower tier school but from what I read they get back to As usually within a month and let the Rs go for months. Might give it one more shot for the spring, maybe try to get a higher score but I’m 34 and my grades are my grades and nothing I can really do about it. Probably was always a pipe dream.
