unfair persuasion

Read a random definition: jeopardy

A quick definition of unfair persuasion:

Unfair persuasion is when someone convinces another person to do something in a way that makes it hard for them to make their own decision. This is not fair because the person doing the persuading is taking advantage of the other person. It's like when someone convinces you to do something you don't want to do, and you feel like you have to say yes even though you don't really want to. This is not okay, and it's called unfair persuasion.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Unfair persuasion is a type of undue influence in which a stronger party achieves a result by means that seriously impair the weaker party's free and competent exercise of judgment. It is a lesser form of undue influence than duress and misrepresentation. The two primary factors to be considered are the unavailability of independent advice and the susceptibility of the person persuaded.

Examples: An example of unfair persuasion is when a car salesman convinces a customer to buy a car that they cannot afford by using high-pressure sales tactics and misleading information. Another example is when a landlord threatens to evict a tenant if they do not sign a lease agreement that is unfair or illegal.

Explanation: In both examples, the stronger party (the car salesman and the landlord) is using unfair tactics to persuade the weaker party (the customer and the tenant) to agree to something that is not in their best interest. The weaker party may feel pressured or coerced into agreeing because they do not have access to independent advice or are susceptible to the tactics being used against them. This is considered unfair persuasion and can be grounds for voiding a contract or agreement.

Very happy with LR other than having to guess on a couple questions cuz of time

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I wrote mine about how all activists should be consolidated into a large smelting pot and refined down to a viscous goo

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P
11:11
The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS
12:03
@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol
[] baddestbunny
12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
