scire fieri inquiry

Read a random definition: sine decreto

A quick definition of scire fieri inquiry:

A scire fieri inquiry is a legal writ used to determine the location of a deceased person's property when a previous writ of execution, called a fieri facias, did not result in finding any assets. The fieri facias is a writ that orders a sheriff to seize and sell a person's property to pay off a debt. If the sheriff cannot find any property to seize, a scire fieri inquiry can be used to locate the property of a deceased person.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Scire fieri inquiry is a legal writ used to determine the location of a testator's property from an executor. This writ is used when the sheriff returns nulla bona to a writ of execution fieri facias de bonis testatoris.

Example: If a person owes money to someone and fails to pay, the creditor can obtain a judgment against the debtor. If the debtor still does not pay, the creditor can obtain a writ of execution, such as a fieri facias, to seize and sell the debtor's property to satisfy the judgment. If the sheriff returns nulla bona to the writ of execution, the creditor can then obtain a scire fieri inquiry to locate the debtor's property from the executor of the debtor's estate.

This example illustrates how a scire fieri inquiry is used in conjunction with a fieri facias writ to locate a debtor's property when the sheriff returns nulla bona.

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+
this is like the schizophrenic posts JJK tik tok be putting out
