Read a random definition: Conference of Chief Justices

A quick definition of separatio bonorum:

Separatio Bonorum: This is a Latin term that means "privilege of separation." In Roman law, it was the right of a creditor of a deceased person to have their property separated from the property of the heir. This separation ensured that the deceased's property was not used to pay the debts of the heir.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Separatio bonorum is a Latin term that refers to the "privilege of separation" in Roman law. It is the right of a creditor of a deceased person to have their property separated from the property of an heir.

This separation protects the creditor by ensuring that the property of the deceased is not used to pay the debts of the heir. For example, if a person dies and leaves behind a debt, their creditor can use the beneficium separationis to ensure that the property inherited by their heir is not used to pay off the debt.

Another example would be if a person dies and leaves behind both assets and debts. The beneficium separationis would allow the creditor to claim only the assets of the deceased and not the assets of the heir.

Overall, the beneficium separationis was an important legal concept in Roman law that protected the rights of creditors and ensured that the property of the deceased was distributed fairly.

Hi everyone! Decided a bit too late that I wanted to go into law. GPA currently stands at 3.76 (one more semester to go) and I'm interested in going into immigration law. Anybody got any advice for LSAT studying and applications? I plan on taking a gap year to have some time for internships and such :)

Apply for the LSAT fee waiver to try to mitigate the cost of materials! 7Sage is $1 for a year if you have the fee waiver. I also think you should try to work in an immigration firm in some way to see if it’s something you really want to pursue and to add to your resume. Good luck!!! One tip I would also give is to not sign up for the LSAT until you’re practice tests average are around the score you’re aiming for

Would an internship through CHCI help my application as well?
Dkk
20:29
@madollyy: It would help as a soft but the big focus should be GPA while you can and LSAT right now. I would say GPA is 40% of the app, LSAt 50% and everything else 10%.
snow
20:31
I agree with dk ^

Got it, thank you. I don't think there is much I can do for my GPA now since I only have 1 semester left for ug but I definitely will be studying my butt off for the LSAT.
