Read a random definition: Sound Recording Amendment of 1972

A quick definition of divisum imperium:

Divisum imperium means a divided empire. It refers to when different courts have power over the same area, but at different times. For example, the common law court has power over the land when the sea is low, and the admiralty court has power over the water when the sea is high. It's like sharing a toy, but taking turns playing with it.

A more thorough explanation:

Divisum imperium is a Latin term that means "a divided empire." It refers to a situation where two different courts have jurisdiction over the same area, but at different times. For example, in some places, the common law court has jurisdiction over an area when the tide is low, while the admiralty court has jurisdiction when the tide is high.

This term is often used in maritime law, where there are different rules and regulations that apply to ships and boats depending on whether they are on the water or on land. In these cases, the courts have to work together to ensure that justice is served and that the law is applied correctly.

Overall, divisum imperium is an important concept in the legal world, as it helps to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and that the law is applied consistently.

@InsipidLemon: really depends on how much they like you. Some schools will give it to you unsolicited, others you must ask.

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
