Read a random definition: shifting use

A quick definition of conflicts:

Conflicts refer to situations where there are differences between the laws of different states or countries in a case that has a connection to two or more jurisdictions. This can happen when there is a disagreement between the laws of a jurisdiction's general laws and the laws of a racial or religious group, or when potentially applicable laws do not differ, have the same objective, or are not meant to apply to the case before the court. The body of jurisprudence that undertakes to reconcile such differences or to decide what law is to govern in these situations is called conflict of laws or private international law.

A more thorough explanation:

Conflicts refer to differences between laws of different states or countries in a case where a transaction or occurrence central to the case has a connection to two or more jurisdictions. This is also known as conflict of laws.

For example, if a person from one state commits a crime in another state, there may be a conflict of laws as to which state's laws should apply to the case.

There are different types of conflicts of laws, such as:

  • Conflict of personal laws: This refers to a difference of laws between a jurisdiction's general laws and the laws of a racial or religious group, such as a conflict between federal law and American Indian tribal law.
  • False conflict of laws: This is a situation resembling but not embodying an actual conflict because the potentially applicable laws do not differ, because the laws' underlying policies have the same objective, or because one of the laws is not meant to apply to the case before the court.

The body of jurisprudence that undertakes to reconcile such differences or to decide what law is to govern in these situations is called the principles of choice of law or conflicts. This is also known as private international law or international private law in international contexts.

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

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to

but that's literally just going off vibes
it looks like Berk vid is in response to a known prompt. My thinking is it may be a counter to AI by getting people to have to respond to what is essentially an essay prompt but on video
"I think really it’s more the USNWR change that emphasizes employment outcomes in school rankings. Schools want to admit people who have the skills to be more likely to land great jobs even more than before, and being a good interviewer is a very important for that. They want to see you have the soft skills." from a reddit comment

One funny thing when talking to lawyers at work is that they will always say how they wish more law schools had interviews to make sure you can like... talk to people and form sentences
getting lunch no one say anything funny or do anything cool for 15 mins
