A quick definition of similar happenings:

Term: Similar Happenings

Definition: Similar happenings are events that occurred at a different time than the event being disputed. They are usually not allowed as evidence, except if they can provide relevant information about things that would be the same, like how the land was being used or controlled on the day in question.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Similar happenings are events that occur at a different time than the event in question. They are usually not allowed as evidence, except if they provide relevant information on issues that would be constant, such as the control and conditions of land on the day in question.

Examples:

  • A dispute over a car accident that happened on a rainy day. Evidence of other car accidents that happened on different rainy days would not be admissible, but evidence of the condition of the road on the day in question would be relevant.
  • A dispute over a slip and fall accident in a grocery store. Evidence of other slip and fall accidents that happened in different stores would not be admissible, but evidence of the store's cleaning procedures and safety measures on the day in question would be relevant.

The examples illustrate that similar happenings are events that are not directly related to the event in question but can provide relevant information on issues that would be constant. In both examples, evidence of similar accidents that happened on different days would not be admissible, but evidence of the conditions and safety measures on the day in question would be relevant to the case.

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

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
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
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
