Thirteenth Amendment

Read a random definition: badge of slavery

A quick definition of Thirteenth Amendment:

Thirteenth Amendment: The Thirteenth Amendment is a law that was added to the United States Constitution in 1865. It made slavery and forced labor illegal in the United States. This means that no one can be forced to work without their consent or be treated like property. The Thirteenth Amendment is important because it helped to end slavery and ensure that everyone has the right to be free.

A more thorough explanation:

The Thirteenth Amendment is a change to the United States Constitution that was ratified in 1865. It ended slavery and forced labor. This amendment is unique because it applies to individuals as well as states, and there is no requirement of "state action." Congress can pass all necessary legislation to enforce this amendment.

Example: The Thirteenth Amendment was a significant step towards ending slavery in the United States. It abolished the practice of owning people as property and forced labor, which was a common practice in the country at the time.

A 30(b)(6) deposition is a legal procedure where an organization designates a representative to testify on its behalf. This deposition is taken under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The notice of deposition or subpoena may name the organization and specify the matters to be covered in the deposition. The organization must then designate a person to testify about those matters on its behalf.

Example: A company is being sued for a defective product. The plaintiff's lawyer sends a notice of deposition to the company, requesting a 30(b)(6) deposition. The company designates a representative to testify about the product's design, manufacturing, and safety testing. This representative will answer questions on behalf of the company during the deposition.

Hey if I am on a bunch of waitlists am I screwed ?
21:39
@AlejandroAI405: Not for certain. You can get off the wait list, however it can be difficult. Would you consider reapplying next year or/and retaking the LSAT? You may drastically increase your choices/outcome(s)/and possibly get a scholarship

I genuinely do think being a reapplicant has some influence on a school’s perception of you, like we didn’t want this person before so why would we want them now? If you apply to only a couple schools your first cycle and then reapply with a higher LSAT and apply more broadly you will prob have good odds at the schools you didn’t apply to before

LMFAO why wait a year to go form UGA to chicago? You make the same biglaw salary lmfao you can get the same elite pi if you finish high, which you should if you are capable of getting chicago with a r and r. This means you advocate them not earning what they could over 4 years - 90k and study then 3 years of law or 3 years of law and then 260k salary? lmfao r and r only makes sense for FC
11:25
If someone applied with a 155 and can get a 170, a lot diff than a 168 hoping for a 172 and wasting a whole year for that
11:25
Oh i know i know i know
11:26
BUt if you want 171 r and r to get a 176+ for top FC at the top schools? okay. Everything else? Take your t25.
11:26
Scholarship dollars? Tuition + 90k income is the same or slightly less than the big law salary, but without a year of career progression.
11:27
It is not a smart move to r and r, long story short, despite what people who want you to pay for essay review and lsat tutor and lsat tutor service say

The other point I would make is that with medians rising your 3.92 GPA might be above median at your dream school one year and below the next
13:20
Both of you make valid points, but if you do not get off the W/L your only options are to R&R or just not pursue. So yea if it makes sense and you can go this year, it may be better than R&R in hopes of better prospects next yr. the devil you know is better than the angel you don't where devil is this cycle and angel is next cycel
i don't think reapplying is going to hurt you from a previously WL/denied school
just make sure you're coming with new things on your resume. maybe a higher lsat or some work experience. a school may not of wanted you this cycle, but if you come back with stronger stats, you're gonna be what they might be looking for.
overall, i'd say work on boosting your lsat though!!
