surmise

Read a random definition: justiciarii itinerantes

A quick definition of surmise:

A surmise is an idea that someone has based on very little evidence. It's like guessing what might happen without really knowing for sure. In the past, surmise was also used to describe a suggestion made to a court or a statement in a complaint.

Libel is a type of surmise that is expressed in writing or other fixed forms, like pictures or electronic broadcasts. It's a statement that harms someone's reputation and is considered both a crime and a tort. Libel can be classified as false-implication, group, libel per quod, libel per se, obscene, seditious, or trade libel. To libel someone means to defame them in a permanent medium, like writing.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An idea or conclusion based on weak evidence or conjecture. In historical contexts, it can also refer to a suggestion made to a court or an allegation in a complaint related to ecclesiastical law.

  • After seeing the empty pizza box on the counter, I surmised that my roommate had ordered takeout last night.
  • The detective surmised that the suspect had left the scene of the crime through the back door.
  • In the historical context of ecclesiastical law, a collateral surmise is a surmise of a fact not contained in the libel.

The first two examples illustrate the everyday use of the term "surmise" to describe a conclusion drawn from limited evidence. The third example shows how the term was used in a specific historical context related to ecclesiastical law.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
