A quick definition of supplicatio:

Supplicatio: A request made to the emperor in ancient Rome to decide a case that was not already before a court or to reopen a case in which no appeal was normally allowed. It was used when justice was unlikely to be done in the ordinary court, or the claimant was of high rank, or the opponent was more powerful. It was also a petition for a pardon on a first offense. In history, it was a type of pleading similar to a rejoinder.

A more thorough explanation:

Supplicatio is a term used in Roman law. It refers to a petition made to the emperor to decide a case that is not already before a court. This can be used when justice is unlikely to be done in the ordinary court, or when the claimant is of too high rank to go before the ordinary court. It can also be used to reopen a case in which no appeal is normally allowed.

For example, if a person is humble and the opponent is powerful, they may use supplicatio to bring their case before the emperor. Or if a person is of high rank, they may not want to go before the ordinary court and can use supplicatio instead.

Supplicatio can also refer to a petition for a pardon on a first offense. This means that if a person commits a crime for the first time, they can ask for a pardon through supplicatio.

In addition, supplicatio can also refer to a pleading similar to a rejoinder. This means that in a legal case, a supplicatio can be used as a response to a rejoinder.

@llama: There was one guy who did it successfully last year, I'll see if I can find the post for you. Absolutely not a normal practice though -- nor should it be!

Imagine if you were trying to apply to law school and half the seats were already taken by schmucks from last year's waitlist
20:52
@crabapple: I would LOL. Real shyster move tho, you rite.
20:53
@Arianq4: 1. Move. 2. Pursue other, non legal work, then take a year after UG to work if u wish
20:54
A shyster: is a person who is dishonest or unethical, especially in the practice of law. The term is often used as a derogatory term for lawyers. pinnacle word choice imo.
@crabapple: mich puts it out as an option and said in a waitlist session this year that they want to take more people than normal this way due to app volume
it makes sense for me because I got a new opportunity for a year and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask
was there a vandy wave today? seems like a small one

@ReadyThinWerewolf: Yeah, I mean you got like Berk this year that hasn't dipped under 3.6. Some are like that.
0:46
nm they dipped under for like idk 10 fucking people.
0:46
Yeah, if you dont have at least a 3.7 it means you fucked around and didn't try hard in undergrad.
0:48
Here we will do Yale. 3 people got in lower than a 3.75. So yeah, some schools are practically unreachable without some insane soft if you don't have a good gpa.
