A quick definition of conventional custom:

A conventional custom is a practice that has become like a law because many people have been doing it for a long time. It is accepted as a rule between people who agree to it, but it doesn't apply to everyone. There are different types of customs, like general customs that everyone follows, legal customs that are binding rules, and local customs that only apply to a specific place. Customary law is made up of customs that are so important to a community that they are treated like laws, even though they were not written down by a government.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A practice that has become widely adopted and accepted as a customary law due to its long-standing and unvarying habit. It operates indirectly through agreements and is recognized as conventional law between the parties involved.

Examples: A common example of conventional custom is trade usage, which is a custom that businesses recognize and follow. For instance, it is customary for restaurants to provide a menu to their customers, and for customers to pay for their meals after they have finished eating. Another example is the custom of shaking hands when greeting someone, which is widely accepted and recognized as a conventional way of showing respect and friendliness.

Explanation: Conventional custom is a type of customary law that operates indirectly through agreements between parties. It is not a binding rule of law, but rather a widely accepted practice that has become customary due to its long-standing and unvarying habit. The examples illustrate how conventional custom operates in different contexts, such as in business and social interactions, and how it is recognized and accepted as a conventional way of doing things.

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
