waiver by election of remedies

Read a random definition: articuli

A quick definition of waiver by election of remedies:

Waiver by Election of Remedies: This is a defense that comes up when someone who is trying to get something they want asks for two different things that can't both happen. If they choose one of those things, they can't ask for the other thing anymore. It's like choosing between two toys - once you pick one, you can't have the other one.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Waiver by election of remedies is a defense that arises when a plaintiff seeks two inconsistent remedies and chooses one of them, thereby waiving the other.

Example: A person who has been wrongfully terminated from their job may choose to either sue for damages or seek reinstatement. If the person chooses to sue for damages, they are waiving their right to seek reinstatement. This is because the two remedies are inconsistent with each other.

Explanation: In the example given, the person who was wrongfully terminated has two options for seeking redress. They can either sue for damages, which would compensate them for the harm caused by the termination, or they can seek reinstatement, which would restore their employment. However, these two remedies are inconsistent with each other. If the person chooses to sue for damages, they are essentially saying that they do not want to be reinstated. This is because if they were reinstated, they would not have suffered any harm and would not be entitled to damages. By choosing one remedy, the person is waiving their right to the other.

@getmoney: check the charts. We have already given you an answer multiple times.

Go to the school, Hofstra for example. Set the cycle to last year and sort the chart by date submitted. You can see when people who applied in December heard back last cycle
helloo everyone, does someone want to read one paragraph i wrote for GW law for the diversoty statement and tell me if it is good/bad?
In school, I was met with questions like, “Why are Muslim women oppressed?” or “Do you need bodyguards when you travel to Jordan?”
shoudl i keep those questions in there or is too much?

I would cut the questions and go in media res.

But, I guess it also depends on what the next few paragraphs are like. I personally am not a fan of rhetorical questions, as they're generally not well done, but they could work.
I like the questions but maybe italics instead of quotes so it feels more internal
like quotes are so blocky and chunky sometimes whereas italics feels more like seamless thoughts but I think that only works if it matches your writing style! I used rhetoricals in mine that way and it seems to have been working out okay
