A quick definition of Title (property):

Title (property): Title is the legal proof that someone owns something, like a house or a car. It's different from just having the thing in your possession. You can show your title with a document, like a deed or certificate of title. Different people can own something together, like a house, and they can have different types of title, like joint tenancy or tenancy in common. Even companies and other groups can own things and have title to them.

A more thorough explanation:

In property matters, title refers to the legal basis of ownership. It is different from possession and is sometimes used interchangeably with absolute ownership. Title is represented by documents that prove ownership, such as a deed or certificate of title. For example, a certificate of title is used to prove ownership of a car.

When it comes to real property, title can be held in different ways. It can be held solely, collectively, collectively with the right of survivorship, via joint tenancy, or with tenancy in common. Legal entities such as corporations, trusts, partnerships, and limited liability companies can also hold title to property.

For instance, if a person buys a house, they receive a deed that proves they own the property. The deed is the document that represents the title to the property. Similarly, if a group of people buys a piece of land together, they can hold title to the property collectively with tenancy in common.

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

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@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+
