A quick definition of basic norm:

A basic norm is a rule or standard that is accepted by a society or group of people. It is used to judge what is right or wrong behavior. It is determined by the typical or most frequent behavior of a group. In legal theory, a basic norm is the law from which all other laws in a society come from. It is the foundation of a society's legal system and determines the validity of all laws. It can be as simple as the concept that all pronouncements of the monarch are to be obeyed or an elaborate system of lawmaking, such as a constitution.

A more thorough explanation:

A basic norm is a fundamental principle or standard that serves as the foundation for all other laws and norms in a society. It is the highest authority in a legal system and determines the validity of all other laws.

For example, in the legal theory of Hans Kelsen, the basic norm is the ultimate source of authority in a legal system. It may be a simple concept, such as the idea that all pronouncements of the monarch are to be obeyed, or a complex system of lawmaking, such as a constitution.

Another example of a basic norm is the standard for right or wrong behavior accepted by a society. This norm serves as a model or standard against which society judges someone or something. For instance, the norm against stealing is a basic norm in most societies, and it is used to judge whether an individual's behavior is right or wrong.

In summary, a basic norm is a fundamental principle or standard that serves as the foundation for all other laws and norms in a society. It is the highest authority in a legal system and determines the validity of all other laws.

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
