A quick definition of donative advowson:

A donative advowson is a type of right in the church where the person who owns it can give a church position to someone without needing permission from a bishop. This used to be the only way to give church positions in England a long time ago. The person who owns the donative advowson is called the patron and they can give the position to someone by simply giving it as a gift. Nowadays, this type of right has been changed to a different type called the advowson presentative.

A more thorough explanation:

A donative advowson is a type of advowson in which the patron has the right to put a cleric in possession by a mere gift, or deed of donation, without any presentation to the bishop. This means that the patron can choose who will fill the vacant benefice without needing approval from the bishop.

For example, if a wealthy individual decides to build a church and endow it with funds, they may choose to have a donative advowson. This would allow them to select the clergyman who will serve the church without needing to go through the formal process of presenting the nominee to the bishop.

Donative advowsons were common in England in the past, but they were converted into presentative advowsons by the Benefices Act of 1898. Presentative advowsons require the patron to present the nominee to the bishop for approval before they can be instituted as the new clergyman.

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

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
