A quick definition of strictum jus:

Term: STRICTUM JUS

Definition: Strictum jus means "strict law" in Latin. It refers to the interpretation of law that is strictly based on the written words of the law. This means that there is no room for interpretation or leniency. It is the opposite of jus aequum, which allows for more flexibility in interpretation. In simpler terms, strictum jus means that the law must be followed exactly as it is written, without any exceptions or deviations.

A more thorough explanation:

STRICTUM JUS

Strictum jus is a Latin term that means "strict law". In Roman law, it refers to the interpretation of the law according to its literal meaning, without any consideration for the intent or spirit of the law.

For example, if a law states that a person must be 18 years old to vote, then strictum jus would mean that anyone who is not yet 18 cannot vote, even if they are only a few months away from their 18th birthday.

This approach to the law is often contrasted with jus aequum, which means "fair law". Jus aequum takes into account the intent and spirit of the law, and may allow for some flexibility in its interpretation.

Overall, strictum jus emphasizes the importance of following the letter of the law, even if it may seem harsh or unfair in certain situations.

and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

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
