A quick definition of en mort mayne:

En mort mayne is a French term that means "in dead hand." It refers to the condition of lands or tenements that are held in perpetuity by an ecclesiastical or other corporation. This means that the land cannot be sold or transferred to another person or entity. However, it also means that the land will never escheat or pass by inheritance, and no inheritance taxes will ever be paid because a corporation does not die. Essentially, en mort mayne is a legal term that describes the control that a corporation has over certain pieces of land or property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: En mort mayne (en mort mayn) is a French term that means "in dead hand." It refers to the condition of lands or tenements that are held in perpetuity by an ecclesiastical or other corporation. This is also known as mortmain.

Examples: If a church owns a piece of land and it is held in mortmain, it means that the church will always own that land and it cannot be sold or transferred to anyone else. This is because a corporation, like a church, does not die and therefore the land will never escheat or pass by inheritance. This also means that no inheritance taxes will ever be paid on the land.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how en mort mayne or mortmain works in practice. When a piece of land is held in mortmain, it is owned by a corporation that will never die. This means that the land cannot be sold or transferred to anyone else, and it will never pass by inheritance. This is important because it ensures that the land remains in the hands of the corporation, such as a church, for perpetuity.

@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
