A quick definition of sufferance:

Term: SUFFERANCE

Definition: Sufferance means allowing something to happen without actively stopping it. It can also refer to someone who is living on land without the owner's permission. In some cases, not enforcing a right can imply permission or a license.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Sufferance refers to the act of tolerating or passively consenting to something. It can also refer to the state of holding land without the owner's permission or a license implied from the omission to enforce a right.

  • When the teacher allowed the students to use their phones during class, it was an act of sufferance.
  • If someone is living on a property without the owner's permission, they are said to be in a state of sufferance.
  • If a landlord fails to enforce a lease agreement, they may be giving their tenant a license to continue living there, which is known as sufferance.

The examples illustrate the different ways in which sufferance can be applied. In the first example, the teacher is tolerating the use of phones in class. In the second example, the person living on the property is doing so without permission, but the owner is passively allowing it. In the third example, the landlord is not enforcing their rights, which is giving the tenant permission to continue living there.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

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

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
