A quick definition of usucapio:

Usucapio is a legal term that refers to the acquisition of ownership through long possession. This means that if someone possesses something for a certain amount of time, they can become the owner of it. In ancient Roman law, the time required for possession was one year for movable things and two years for land. Under Justinian, the time was increased to three years for movable things and a minimum of ten years for land. This legal concept is also known as usus, usucaption, or usucapion.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Usucapio is a legal term used in Roman and civil law. It refers to the acquisition of ownership by long possession that began in good faith. This means that if someone possesses something for a certain period of time, they can become the legal owner of it, even if they did not originally own it.

For example, if someone lives in a house for a certain number of years without the owner's permission, they may be able to claim ownership of the house through usucapio. In classical law, the required periods were one year for movable property and two years for land. Under Justinian, the period was three years for movable property and a minimum of ten years for land.

Usucapio is also known as usus, usucaption, or usucapion.

Example: John has been using a piece of land that belongs to his neighbor for over ten years. He has been using it openly and without any objection from his neighbor. According to the principle of usucapio, John may be able to claim ownership of the land because he has possessed it for the required period of time.

This example illustrates how usucapio can be used to acquire ownership of property through long possession. Even if John did not originally own the land, his long possession of it can give him legal ownership through usucapio.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
