A quick definition of enclave:

An enclave is a small piece of land that belongs to one country but is completely surrounded by another country. This means that people who live in the enclave have to cross through the other country to get to the rest of their own country. Enclaves used to be more common, but now there are only a few left. There are also federal enclaves, which are pieces of land that a state has given to the United States government. The government has complete control over these areas, which include things like military bases and national parks.

A more thorough explanation:

An enclave is a term used in international law to describe an isolated part of a country's territory that is entirely surrounded by the territory of another country. This means that any communication with the main part of the country must pass through the territory of the foreign country. Enclaves are relatively rare nowadays, but some examples include:

  • Baarle-Hertog: a Belgian enclave in the Netherlands
  • Kaliningrad: a Russian enclave between Lithuania and Poland

Another type of enclave is a federal enclave. This refers to territory or land that a state has ceded to the United States. Examples of federal enclaves include military bases, national parks, federally administered highways, and federal Indian reservations. The U.S. government has exclusive authority and jurisdiction over federal enclaves.

Finally, there is the quasi-enclave. This is an isolated part of a country's territory that, although not entirely surrounded by the territory of a foreign country, is inaccessible by way of the country's own territory because of topographical features such as impassable mountains.

Overall, enclaves are unique geographical features that can have significant political and legal implications for the countries involved.

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)
