A quick definition of de plegiis acquietandis:

Term: DE PLEGIIS ACQUIETANDIS

Definition: De plegiis acquietandis was a legal order that required a person who had failed to make a payment to repay their surety. A surety is someone who promises to pay a debt if the borrower cannot. This writ was used to release the surety from their obligation to pay the debt on behalf of the borrower.

A more thorough explanation:

De plegiis acquietandis is a Latin term used in law that means "for acquitting or releasing pledges." It refers to a writ that orders repayment to a surety by a principal who had failed to make a required payment that the surety then had to cover.

For example, let's say John borrowed $10,000 from a bank and his friend Tom acted as a surety for the loan. John failed to make the required payments, and the bank demanded payment from Tom. Tom paid the bank, but he can use the writ of de plegiis acquietandis to order John to repay him the $10,000 he had to cover.

Another example could be a contractor who hires a subcontractor to complete a project. The subcontractor fails to complete the work, and the contractor has to pay another company to finish it. The contractor can use the writ of de plegiis acquietandis to order the subcontractor to repay them for the additional costs incurred.

These examples illustrate how the writ of de plegiis acquietandis can be used to ensure that a surety is not left with the financial burden of covering a principal's failure to make a required payment.

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
