Term: BANNITUS

Definition: Bannitus is a word from Law Latin that means a person who is under a ban or an outlaw. A ban is a public proclamation or summons that deals with various matters, such as calling to arms or declaring someone an outlaw.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bannitus (ban-uh-tuhs) is a term from Law Latin that refers to a person who is under a ban or an outlaw. It is similar to the term "ban" which is a public proclamation or summons. Bans were used to call people to arms or to declare someone an outlaw. Bannitus can also refer to an authoritative ecclesiastical prohibition or excommunication.

  • After committing a serious crime, the king declared the thief a bannitus, meaning he was now an outlaw and could be punished without consequence.
  • The church issued a bannitus against the priest who had been caught stealing from the collection plate.
  • When a couple wants to get married in a church, they must have their banns of matrimony announced to the congregation for three consecutive weeks.

The examples illustrate how bannitus can be used in different contexts. In the first example, it refers to a person who has been declared an outlaw by the king. In the second example, it refers to a person who has been excommunicated by the church. In the third example, it refers to the announcement of a couple's intention to marry in a church.

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
