Term: VISNE

Definition: Visne means neighborhood. In the past, it was the area from which juries were chosen in common law. It is also known as vicinage.

A more thorough explanation:

VISNE

Visne (pronounced veen or veen-ee) is a legal term that refers to a neighborhood or district from which juries were drawn in common law. It is also known as vicinage.

For example, if a trial was taking place in a certain county, the visne or vicinage would be the surrounding area from which potential jurors would be selected. This was done to ensure that the jury was made up of individuals who were familiar with the area and the people involved in the case.

Another example would be if a crime was committed in a specific neighborhood, the visne or vicinage would be the area immediately surrounding the location of the crime.

The examples illustrate how visne or vicinage is used in the legal system to determine the area from which potential jurors are selected. This helps to ensure that the jury is made up of individuals who are familiar with the area and the people involved in the case, which can lead to a fairer trial. It also helps to determine the area where a crime was committed, which can be important in determining jurisdiction and other legal matters.

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+

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
