whitehorse case

Read a random definition: ethnic profiling

A quick definition of whitehorse case:

The Whitehorse Case is a term used to describe a legal situation where the facts of a reported case are almost the same as the current case being heard. This means that the outcome of the reported case should be used to determine the outcome of the current case. It is also known as the Horse Case, Goose Case, or Gray Mule Case. This term is similar to the phrase "on all fours."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A legal term used to describe a reported case with facts that are almost identical to those of the current case. The outcome of the reported case can be used to determine the outcome of the current case.

Example: In a case involving a car accident, the Whitehorse case may be used as a reference if it had similar circumstances. If the Whitehorse case ruled in favor of the plaintiff, it may be used to support the plaintiff's case in the current trial.

Explanation: The Whitehorse case is used as a reference point to help determine the outcome of a current case. If the facts of the two cases are almost identical, the ruling of the Whitehorse case can be used to support the ruling of the current case. This helps to ensure consistency in legal decisions and can save time and resources in the legal process.

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?

12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol

12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI

[] baddestbunny
16:01
They make the Yale app a lot of work to filter out the people who don’t really want it like that
16:25
