A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Corpus comitatus is a Latin term that means "the body of a county." It refers to the area within a territorial jurisdiction where admiralty jurisdiction did not originally extend, unlike on the high seas. Infra corpus comitatus means "within the body of a county."

Example: In English law, the phrase "infra corpus comitatus" referred to a body of water that was completely enclosed by land, such as a lake or a pond. Since it was within the body of a county, it was exempt from admiralty jurisdiction.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the term "infra corpus comitatus" was used in English law to describe a body of water that was not subject to admiralty jurisdiction because it was within the territorial jurisdiction of a county. This exemption was based on the idea that admiralty jurisdiction only applied to bodies of water that were considered part of the high seas.

LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
this is like the schizophrenic posts JJK tik tok be putting out

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

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?
