A quick definition of theft:

Term: Theft

Definition: Theft is when someone takes something that doesn't belong to them on purpose. This means they want to keep it for themselves and not let the owner use it anymore. Sometimes, theft is called larceny. There are two types of theft: grand theft and petty theft. Grand theft is when someone steals something that is worth a lot of money or is a car or gun. Petty theft is when someone steals something that is not worth as much. Depending on how bad the theft is and where it happens, the person who did it might get in trouble with the law and could go to jail.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Theft is when someone takes something that belongs to someone else without permission and with the intention of keeping it for themselves. This is also called larceny. Theft can be divided into two categories: grand theft and petty theft. Grand theft is when the stolen item is worth a lot of money or is a valuable item like a car or a gun. Petty theft is when the stolen item is not worth as much.

Examples:

  • Someone steals a purse from a woman's shopping cart while she's not looking. This is an example of petty theft because the value of the stolen item is not very high.
  • Someone breaks into a jewelry store and steals a diamond necklace worth $10,000. This is an example of grand theft because the stolen item is worth a lot of money.
  • Someone steals a car from a parking lot. This is an example of grand theft because a car is considered a valuable item.

These examples illustrate the definition of theft because in each case, someone took something that did not belong to them without permission and with the intention of keeping it for themselves. The severity of the crime is determined by the value of the stolen item and whether it is considered a valuable item like a car or a gun.

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

@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+

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
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
