unifactoral obligation

Read a random definition: ex causa lucrativa

A quick definition of unifactoral obligation:

An obligation is a duty to do something or not do something, either because of a law, contract, promise, or moral code. It can also be an agreement to pay a certain amount or do a certain thing for someone else. There are different types of obligations, such as those that require strict fulfillment, those that are incidental to another obligation, and those that can be satisfied in different ways. Obligations can also be joint or several, heritable or inheritable, and perfect or imperfect. A unifactoral obligation is one that is created by only one party.

A more thorough explanation:

Unifactoral Obligation

An obligation created by one party. It refers to a legal or moral duty to do or not do something that is imposed by law, contract, promise, social relations, courtesy, kindness, or morality. It is a duty that is binding on one party only.

  • A promise made by a person to donate money to a charity is an example of a unifactoral obligation. The person is bound by their promise to donate the money, but the charity is not obligated to do anything in return.
  • Another example is a unilateral contract, where one party makes a promise to do something in exchange for an act by the other party. For instance, a reward offered for finding a lost item is a unifactoral obligation because the person who lost the item is not obligated to do anything in return.

The examples illustrate the definition of unifactoral obligation by showing that it is a duty that is binding on one party only. In both cases, one party is obligated to do something without any obligation on the other party to reciprocate. This is different from a bilateral contract, where both parties are obligated to perform certain actions.

@SuperficialBlueWeasel: The reality is you are likely behind a gaggle of Sept-Oct. applicants. THe schools are backed up with apps. Some are fast, others are really slow. Also some schools may have had adcoms retire/ shortage of cannonfadder app readers. Try to chill out/research the schools you have applied to so when you get an answer you can move quick and lock up a deal/
thanks @11ama

In the event you have not received an admissions decision yet, have you tried turning your computer on and off, have you tried checking your span, and have you ensured your email inbox is not full?

I was interested in applying to 'Bama law. Called them up, asked if they had any distant cousins attending their institution based on family name/ Ancestry.con DNA. They did not. I replied I was regrettably no longer interested in their institution.
Are you sure you ever did

Trust me, I tried it many a times b4/

I wonder if schools are punishing R&R's with no increases to GPA or LSAT.
20:40
Or no new work experience.

Last cycle people who are too burnt to go get something impressive to add to their resume and application.

@JuicyApple: Oh no doubt. Wouldn't you be perturbed if you rejected someone and they came back next year with a 'hey boo, its me again' ?

Yeah that’s def a real fear. I think too it puts people who have high stats but are going to reapply in a weird place because you can’t even improve the most important parts of your app

I'm sure it falls in the same category as retaking the LSAT: one more thing to be held against you.
21:05
Alrighty then. Sounds bad.

Pretty crazy sheer number of applicants, IMO. I hope people find fulfilling work, yet I fear the future will not reveal said state of affairs since movies/culture makes law seem much more bad ass than it is.

Yeah, idk. I have been here like almost over a year now and I don't understand why half the people I meet go to law school. I was shadowing classes yesterday and today and the people I talked to in those 1L classes were like totally disinterested in the subject, getting questions wrong I knew as a paralegal, and didn't have any idea what they wanted to do post grad. Blew my mind. Maybe it's cus I shadowed a lower ranking scholl yesterday and today but it's weird.
21:41
Law school I fear is becoming just like another idk what I want to do post undergrad option and I need more time to find out so I am going to go to school some more which is like the opposite of what people should do.
