suit for exoneration

A quick definition of suit for exoneration:

A suit for exoneration is a legal action taken by someone who has promised to pay someone else's debt (called a surety) to force the person who owes the debt (called the debtor) to pay it back. If the debtor has done something wrong or doesn't have enough money to pay the debt, the suit for exoneration may also ask for other ways to make sure the debt is paid fairly. This is also called a suit to compel payment.

A more thorough explanation:

A suit for exoneration is a legal action taken by a surety to force a debtor to pay a creditor. This type of lawsuit is typically brought when the debtor has failed to pay their debts and the surety is left to cover the costs. If the debtor has acted fraudulently and is insolvent, a suit for exoneration may include additional remedies to ensure that the debtor's assets are used fairly to pay off their outstanding debts.

One example of a suit for exoneration might involve a contractor who has hired a subcontractor to complete a project. The subcontractor fails to complete the work and the contractor is left to cover the costs. The contractor may then file a suit for exoneration against the subcontractor to force them to pay for the work that was not completed.

Another example might involve a person who has co-signed a loan for a friend or family member. If the borrower fails to make payments on the loan, the co-signer may be left to cover the costs. The co-signer could then file a suit for exoneration against the borrower to force them to pay back the loan.

These examples illustrate how a suit for exoneration can be used to hold debtors accountable for their debts and ensure that sureties are not left to cover the costs of someone else's actions.

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
