A quick definition of caducary:

Term: caducary

Definition: Caducary refers to a situation where a bequest or estate may be lost or forfeited due to certain circumstances, such as escheat or lapse. This means that the property may not go to the intended heirs, but instead may be taken by the government or other parties.

For example, if someone leaves a will but it is found to be invalid, the property may become caducary and be subject to escheat or lapse. It is important to make sure that legal documents are properly executed to avoid this situation.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: Caducary
Definition: When someone leaves behind an inheritance or property, it can sometimes be subject to being taken away or forfeited. This is called caducary. For example, if someone dies without a will and has no living relatives, their property may become caducary and go to the government. Another example is if someone leaves behind a bequest with certain conditions that are not met, the property may become caducary and go to someone else.
Examples: The old man died without any living relatives, so his estate became caducary and was taken over by the government. The wealthy woman left behind a bequest for her favorite charity, but if they didn't use the money for a specific purpose, it would become caducary and go to her second choice charity. These examples illustrate how caducary means that property or inheritance can be taken away or forfeited.

if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points
