A quick definition of de vasto:

Term: DE VASTO

Definition: De vasto is a legal term that refers to a writ used to hold a tenant responsible for any damage caused to the property or inheritance of the landlord. This writ is used by a reversioner or remainderman to compel a tenant for life or for years to appear and answer for the waste and resulting damage to the plaintiff's inheritance. In simpler terms, it is a legal document that allows a landlord to hold their tenant accountable for any damage they cause to the property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: De vasto (dee vas-toh), n. [Law Latin “of waste”] A writ allowing a reversioner or remainderman to compel a tenant for life or for years to appear and answer for the waste and resulting damage to the plaintiff's inheritance. See WASTE (1).

Example: John owns a piece of land and leases it to Mary for 10 years. During the lease, Mary cuts down all the trees on the land, causing damage to the land and reducing its value. After the lease ends, John can use the writ of de vasto to sue Mary for the damage she caused to his inheritance.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the writ of de vasto can be used to protect the rights of a reversioner or remainderman. In this case, John is the reversioner, and Mary is the tenant for years. Mary's actions caused damage to John's inheritance, and the writ of de vasto allows John to hold Mary accountable for her actions.

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
