A quick definition of courtesy supervision:

Term: Courtesy Supervision

Definition: Courtesy supervision is when a person who has been released from prison is watched over by a different correctional agency than the one that sentenced them. This usually happens when the person's offense was not very serious and they can be better helped in a different location. It is an informal arrangement between the correctional authorities.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Courtesy supervision is when a parolee is monitored by a correctional agency in a different area than where they were sentenced. This is usually done when the offense is not serious and the parolee's rehabilitation would be better served in another jurisdiction. It is an informal arrangement between correctional authorities.

For example, if someone was sentenced to parole in California but then moved to Oregon, they may be put under courtesy supervision by the Oregon correctional agency. This means that the Oregon agency would monitor the parolee's behavior and ensure they are following the terms of their parole, even though they were not originally sentenced in Oregon.

Another example could be if a parolee has family or job opportunities in a different state. They may request to be put under courtesy supervision in that state so they can be closer to their support system or employment opportunities.

These examples illustrate how courtesy supervision allows for more flexibility in the parole system. It allows parolees to move to different areas and still receive the necessary supervision and support to successfully complete their parole.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
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?
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
