A quick definition of without impeachment of waste:

Term: WITHOUT IMPEACHMENT OF WASTE

Definition: When someone rents a property, they may be given the right to do certain things like cutting down trees. Without impeachment of waste means that the tenant cannot be punished for doing these things. However, if the tenant does something bad on purpose, they can still be held responsible. This is usually written in a lease agreement. Another way to say this is absque impetitione vasti.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Without impeachment of waste means that a tenant is not subject to legal action or punishment for certain actions that may be considered waste. This clause is usually included in a lease to give the tenant the right to take certain actions, such as cutting timber, without being held liable for waste. However, the tenant cannot abuse this right and will be held liable for maliciously committing waste.

Example: A lease agreement may include a clause that allows a tenant to cut down trees on the property without being held liable for waste. This means that the tenant can use the wood for their own purposes without fear of legal action or punishment.

Explanation: This example illustrates how the clause of without impeachment of waste can be used in a lease agreement. The tenant is given the right to cut down trees without being held liable for waste, but they must not abuse this right and commit malicious waste.

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I wrote mine about how all activists should be consolidated into a large smelting pot and refined down to a viscous goo

Expecting a lot of rejections though

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie

HowlEngineer

11:18

Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)

HowlEngineer

11:19

That school’s* culture

ChowieBean

11:23

Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS

ChowieBean

@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

"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?

MildChiller

12:09

Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024

ChowieBean

12:14

2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:17

I agree with Howl

ChowieBean

12:19

Gecko what's ur dream school

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:20

Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:20

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

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:21

Any advice? lol

[] baddestbunny

12:25

what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?

ChowieBean

12:25

Hmmmm let me think

[] baddestbunny

12:25

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:29

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

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:29

I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:31

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

HowlEngineer

12:59

@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?

HowlEngineer

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

HowlEngineer

13:10

but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else

ChowieBean

13:30

@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
