COGSA

Read a random definition: fixed income

A quick definition of COGSA:

COGSA stands for Carriage of Goods by Sea Act. It is a law that applies to shipping goods by sea. It is like a set of rules that countries follow when they transport goods by sea. Even if a country has a different name for their law, people still use the acronym COGSA to refer to it. For example, in Canada, the law is called the Carriage of Goods by Water Act, but people still call it the "Canadian COGSA."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: COGSA stands for Carriage of Goods by Sea Act. It is a law related to maritime transportation of goods.

COGSA is an international convention known as the Hague Rules. It is enacted by different countries under different names. For example, the Canadian Carriage of Goods by Water Act is also referred to as the "Canadian COGSA."

Example: A company in the United States wants to transport goods to a company in Japan. They hire a shipping company to transport the goods by sea. The shipping company is bound by COGSA regulations, which ensure that the goods are transported safely and that the shipping company is liable for any damages or losses that occur during transportation.

Explanation: This example illustrates how COGSA regulates the transportation of goods by sea. It ensures that the shipping company is responsible for the safe transportation of the goods and liable for any damages or losses that occur during transportation. This protects both the company shipping the goods and the company receiving them.

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
