bail to the action

Read a random definition: fidelity and guaranty insurance

A quick definition of bail to the action:

Bail to the action is when someone promises to pay money or give something valuable to the court to get someone out of jail. This is done so that the person can go home and come back to court later. If the person doesn't come back to court, the person who promised to pay the money or give something valuable will have to pay the court instead. It's like borrowing something from a friend and promising to give it back later, but if you don't give it back, you have to pay for it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bail to the action is a type of surety bond that a civil defendant arrested during a lawsuit can provide to secure their release. The bail to the action is responsible for paying the judgment or surrendering the defendant into custody if they lose the lawsuit.

Example: John is a civil defendant who was arrested during a lawsuit. He provided bail to the action to secure his release. If John loses the lawsuit, his bail to the action will be responsible for paying the judgment or surrendering John into custody.

This example illustrates how bail to the action works. It is a type of surety bond that allows a civil defendant to secure their release during a lawsuit. The bail to the action is responsible for ensuring that the defendant appears in court and pays the judgment if they lose the lawsuit.

it's hard to say but i've also heard that the group interview is harder to get than the alumni interview. but who really knows tbh

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
