A more thorough explanation:

The United States Customs Court was a court that used to handle cases related to customs and duties. It was abolished in 1980, and its responsibilities were taken over by the United States Court of International Trade.

The United States Customs Service, on the other hand, is an agency within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that is responsible for collecting import duties on goods, wares, and merchandise, as well as enforcing customs and related laws. It was created in 1863 and was transferred from the Department of the Treasury in 2003. It is also known as the Bureau of Customs.

For example, if a company imports goods into the United States, they would have to pay import duties to the United States Customs Service. If they fail to do so, the agency would enforce customs laws and impose penalties.

The United States District Attorney is also known as the United States Attorney. They are responsible for prosecuting criminal cases brought by the federal government. They represent the United States in legal matters and defend the government's interests.

For example, if a person is charged with a federal crime, the United States District Attorney would be responsible for prosecuting the case in court.

The United States District Court is a federal trial court that has jurisdiction within its judicial district. It is abbreviated as U.S.D.C.

For example, if a person wants to file a lawsuit against someone in a federal court, they would file it in the United States District Court that has jurisdiction over the area where the defendant lives or where the incident occurred.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet
18:46
How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.
18:50
I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
