Term: Salvo Beneficio Competentiae

Definition: Salvo Beneficio Competentiae is a Latin term that means "saving the benefit of being held liable only to the extent that one's means permit." It is a legal concept that protects debtors by allowing them to pay only as much as they can reasonably afford, so that they can still have enough to live on after paying their debts. This concept is also known as Beneficium Competentiae in Roman and Scots law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Salvo beneficio competentiae is a Latin term that means "saving the benefit of being held liable only to the extent that one's means permit." It is a legal concept that protects debtors from being forced to pay more than they can reasonably afford.

Example: In Roman and Scots law, a debtor has the right to be ordered to pay only as much as they can reasonably afford. This means that after assigning their estate to creditors, the debtor must have enough left to live on. For example, if a debtor owes $10,000 but can only afford to pay $5,000, they can be ordered to pay only $5,000.

This concept is important because it ensures that debtors are not unfairly burdened with debt that they cannot reasonably repay. It also protects their basic right to a minimum standard of living.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
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+

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
