sovereign right

Read a random definition: de rei gestae veritate

A quick definition of sovereign right:

Sovereign Right: A special right that only a country or its organizations have. This right allows them to do things that are important for the good of the people, unlike other rights that are only for individuals or businesses.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Sovereign right is a special right that only a government or its agencies have. This right allows them to perform their official duties for the benefit of the public. It is different from other rights that a government may have as a private entity.

Examples:

  • The government has the sovereign right to make and enforce laws that protect its citizens.
  • The government has the sovereign right to regulate trade and commerce within its borders.
  • The government has the sovereign right to declare war and make peace with other nations.

These examples illustrate how the government has a unique right to perform certain functions that are necessary for the well-being of its citizens. These functions cannot be performed by any other entity, and the government has the authority to carry them out for the public benefit.

I wanted a short list but my family pushed me to apply to a bunch of reaches (out of my own pocket ofc)
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: yeah that's kinda my worry. Technically most schools are simultaneously targets, reaches, and safeties for me
I'm def not a t14 or bust kinda guy though so it's all about the money lol

you should apply cornell. the lrap covers your loans if you make less than 120k a year. so you could do PI and get your loans forgiven with PSLF. i think you’d have a good shot at cornell

waspy wants everyone to go to Cornell and hang out with him
yes, i am cornell’s #1 glazer and recommend it to everyone

I've seen UGA give big money to mid 170s mid 3s before
good for big law and good for PI because no one does PI at cornell
@BruceSutter: NC, VA/DC, or Cali most likely. Also have ties to Chicago and Cinci
13:30
I've also seen a few UGA grads go to Charlotte
plus we can drink milk tea together
13:31
I'd add Northwestern and Gulc for sure although you might only get half at most at T14s if you get in. worth a shot though
that's the thing, I'd love to go to Gtown but I could never afford it in a million years lol. I still have to sort some shit out with the VA to determine if I have GI Bill eligibility, in which case fuck it we ball. But money is a big factor otherwise since I have 0 interest in BL
@TurboSplitter: look into schools LRAPs, a lot of schools will pay your loan payments if you do PI.

@TurboSplitter: I had to petition with the VA to get my GI Bill back but it worked. Takes like 30-90 days and free college is worth it
