Coast Guard jurisdiction

Read a random definition: manifest error

A quick definition of Coast Guard jurisdiction:

Coast Guard Jurisdiction: The Coast Guard is a branch of the military that enforces laws and regulations on the waters that belong to the United States. They have the power to stop, search, and take things, as well as arrest people. They also help with rescues and do research on the ocean. The Coast Guard was created in 1915 and is now part of the Department of Homeland Security.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Coast Guard jurisdiction refers to the authority of the United States Coast Guard to enforce federal laws on the high seas and navigable waters under U.S. jurisdiction. This includes the power to stop, search, and seize property, as well as arrest individuals.

Example: The Coast Guard has the authority to stop and search a cargo ship suspected of carrying illegal drugs in international waters. If they find evidence of illegal activity, they can seize the drugs and arrest the crew.

Explanation: This example illustrates how the Coast Guard's jurisdiction extends beyond U.S. territorial waters and into international waters. They have the authority to enforce federal laws and combat illegal activity, even if it occurs outside of U.S. borders.

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
