A quick definition of and:

Term: and

Definition: And is a small but important word in law. It is often used to determine if one or both owners have to sign documents. For example, if a car registration says "Barney and Sarah Oldfield," then both Barney and Sarah have to sign if they want to sell the car. But if it says "Barney or Sarah Oldfield," then only one of them has to sign. If Barney dies and the registration says "or," then the car automatically belongs to Sarah. But if it says "and," then the car does not automatically belong to Sarah.

A more thorough explanation:

and

Conjunction. This small word is important in law because it determines whether one or both owners have to sign documents.

  • If a car registration says "Barney and Sarah Oldfield," then both Barney and Sarah must sign off on the sale of the car.
  • If a car registration says "Barney or Sarah Oldfield," then only one of them needs to sign off on the sale of the car.
  • If Barney dies and the car registration says "Barney or Sarah Oldfield," then the car will automatically be in Sarah's name. However, if the registration says "Barney and Sarah Oldfield," then the car will not automatically be in Sarah's name.

These examples illustrate how the word "and" or "or" can have a big impact on legal documents. If a document says "and," it means that both parties must be involved in any decisions or transactions related to the document. If a document says "or," it means that only one party needs to be 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

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
IS IT ONLY ON MY END WHY DID THAT SEND TEN MILLION TIMES
