A quick definition of casualty:

Definition: Casualty means something bad that happens unexpectedly, like an accident or disaster, and the harm that comes from it. It can be anything that is affected by the harm, like people, places, or things. If something is lost or damaged because of a casualty, it is called a casualty loss. Even in situations that are expected, like war, people who are hurt or killed are still considered casualties.

A more thorough explanation:

Casualty refers to an unexpected event or disaster that causes harm to people, places, or things. It can also refer to the resulting harm from the incident. For example, if a fire destroys a house, the house and everything inside it would be considered casualties.

Additionally, casualty can refer to the loss of property or money resulting from an unforeseen event. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows taxpayers to deduct losses from "fire, storm, shipwreck, or other casualty" on their tax returns.

Examples of casualties include:

  • A person who is injured or killed in a car accident
  • A building that is destroyed in a natural disaster like a hurricane or earthquake
  • A business that suffers financial losses due to a cyber attack
  • A soldier who is killed or injured in combat

These examples illustrate how casualties can occur in a variety of situations and can affect different types of entities, including people, buildings, and businesses.

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)
