A quick definition of adstipulator:

Term: ADSTIPULATOR

Definition: An adstipulator is a person who is added to a contract to help enforce it. They work alongside the main person in the contract, called the stipulator. If the adstipulator enforces the contract, they will have to pay the stipulator. This is done to avoid a rule that says a person cannot ask for payment after they die.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An adstipulator is a party to a contract in Roman law who could enforce the contract along with the principal (i.e., the stipulator). They were brought in to avoid the rule that a person could not directly stipulate for payment after death. If an adstipulator enforced an agreement, they would have to pay the stipulator.

For example, if John and Jane entered into a contract, and John died before the contract was fulfilled, Jane could not directly stipulate for payment after John's death. However, if an adstipulator was included in the contract, they could enforce the contract along with Jane and pay her the agreed-upon amount.

Another example would be if a person hired a contractor to build a house, and the contractor included an adstipulator in the contract. If the contractor died before completing the house, the adstipulator could step in and enforce the contract, ensuring that the house was completed as agreed upon.

These examples illustrate how an adstipulator was used in Roman law to ensure that contracts were fulfilled even after the death of one of the parties involved.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
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
