A quick definition of son assault demesne:

Son assault demesne is a French term that means "his own assault". It is used as a plea of self-defense in a tort action, where the defendant claims that they only used force to protect themselves and their property from the plaintiff's attack. Self-defense is the use of force to protect oneself, family, or property from a real or threatened attack. It is justified if the person believes that bodily harm is imminent and force is necessary to avoid it. There are two types of self-defense: perfect and imperfect. Perfect self-defense is when force is used accurately to repel an attack, while imperfect self-defense is when force is used due to an honest but unreasonable mistake. Self-defense is a legal right, and it is not up to the state to judge whether it was necessary or not.

A more thorough explanation:

Son assault demesne is a French term that means "his own assault." It refers to the plea of self-defense in a tort action. In this plea, the defendant claims that the plaintiff initiated an assault, and the defendant used only the necessary force to repel the plaintiff's assault and protect their person and property.

For example, if someone attacks another person, and the attacked person fights back to protect themselves, they can use the plea of son assault demesne in court. They can argue that they only used the necessary force to defend themselves and their property.

The law of self-defense allows a person to use force to protect themselves, their family, or their property from a real or threatened attack. However, the force used must be necessary and reasonable. If a person makes an honest but unreasonable mistake that force is necessary to repel an attack, it is called imperfect self-defense. On the other hand, if a person accurately appraises the necessity and the amount of force to repel an attack, it is called perfect self-defense.

International law also recognizes the right of a state to defend itself against a real or threatened attack. This is known as the right of self-defense.

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.
Dkk
20:32
Nice!
madollyy
20:32
I really appreciate your advice, guys <3 Wishing you luck on your endeavors!

@madollyy: is that your CAS GPA?
madollyy
20:33
That's what's on my transcript! I haven't done that one yet tbh. I get mostly A's, some B's. Got dragged down a bit too much from one D in my first semester though ><
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:34
do you have any A+’s? that could help your gpa!
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:36
bc LSAC recalculates A+ to 4.3
madollyy
20:39
Noo :( Unfortunately. I'm surprised that I don't, there were definitely some classes that I remember scoring 98-100% but it doesn't show on my transcript
madollyy
20:41
Acutally
madollyy
20:41
My university does not list A+
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:42
yeah my university’s the same way, so frustrating! still a great GPA and with a killer LSAT score you’ll be good to go :)
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:42
if you have the means, I’ve heard private tutoring is the way to go
madollyy
20:44
Fingers crossed! I mean I'd be so so glad to go to law school period, but I am a bit of an overachiever. Dream is Berkeley rn, but I'm of course happy to go anywhere that lines up with my plans. And is kind enough with scholarships lol
madollyy
20:44
I'll have to see if my parents are willing to support that. I'm living on my own but ik if it'd help me they'd be willing to help
JumpySubsequentDolphin
20:47
who knows, you might not even need a tutor! Take a diagnostic and see where you stand :)

@madollyy: yeah that happend to me too with my community college transcript. You can try calling to see if they can alter your transcript but like mine would not do it.
Dkk
21:04
Ask @babycat to tutor you @madollyy
cat food is expensive tho
21:09
I HOPW THAT ISNT REAL
@JumpySubsequentDolphin: I would push back on this. I think for the vast majority of people LSAT tutoring is unnecessary.
21:09
oh its from nov 12 phew
21:09
i was about to have a heart attack
21:09
at the berk decision lmao
@madollyy: I focus on bringing your GPA up as much as possible in the last semester because once you graduate you cannot change that. So don't study for the LSAT next semester if you think that would impair your ability to get straight A's. As for LSAT studying, I would recommend LSAT Demon (ik controversial), the Loophole, and Reading Comp Hero.
*I would focus

@texaslawhopefully: oh I’m not sure hahaha im just basing off of my friend who got a tutor bc she was rly struggling and it seemed like it helped her!
Yeah, that's fair! For some people it can help a lot. I'm just saying in general I don't think it is necessary unless you are trying to finetune a very specific area (or get to the high 170s because that is another thing in and of itself) OR are just terrible at the test. I tutor the test and I find that most people can improve just as much through self-study.
JumpySubsequentDolphin
21:13
that makes sense for sure

i think for her it was a lack of discipline more than anything else tbh. she could not get herself to meaningfully study on her own
