A quick definition of family law :

Family law is a type of law that deals with things like marriage, divorce, and children. It also covers things like adoption and domestic violence. Each state has its own rules about family law, so it can be different depending on where you live. Some states have special courts just for family law cases.

A more thorough explanation:

Family law, also known as domestic relations law, is a type of law that deals with legal issues related to family relationships. This includes marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, domestic violence, reproductive rights, and other matters that involve family members.

For example, if a couple decides to get a divorce, family law will govern how their property is divided, who gets custody of their children, and how much child support or alimony should be paid. If a child is being abused by a family member, family law will provide legal protections for the child and may result in criminal charges for the abuser.

Family law is based on English common law traditions, but it has evolved over time to reflect changing social norms and values. Each state has its own family law statutes, which can vary widely from state to state. Some states have separate family courts to handle family law cases.

It's cus i network well. I was in Citrin over in Santa Monica having dinner when this couple walked in and they were Icelandic and I had that Nordic connection to them so we chatted it up and then the Sommelier there was a long time friend of my family's and I found out these guys were like celebrity architects and I was all oh, I know this chick who is an architect who has like 1M tiktok followers and needs to rebrand and they were all oh, cool we would love to meet and hire her after learning she went to UCLA but then she just was like nah, I feel like failing for the next 6 months.

I give creatively inclined people a little more leeway with their behavior bc at least they’re interesting. I hate when someone is boring

Maybe. I wish they knew how to channel their creativity better. I feel I am a creative person too but I feel I know how to channel it into the drinks I make. She had some autistic savant gifts. Could draw/paint the most amazing shit.

This is like the most artsy restaurant I have ever been to. It was a total rip off but I will never have an experience like that again for at least a year.
hey all I think I must have asked this question here almost thrice and forgot to check but how do I see the stats to figure out if someone who applied in mid october to NYU but missed both waves so far still has a chance of getting in?
1:13
everyone literally needs to chill
1:13
just bc you missed 2 waves doesnt mean ur cooked. some people dont find out for 10 weeks
1:14
even 16 weeks ive seen
thats far more reassuring than all the reddit posts on this. Saw several posts saying im cooked at the end of the first wave
if i don't get a gulc decision end of this week im actually gonna crash out so bad
evil bunny aint got nothing on me

It snowed a couple days ago here. Well, looks like people are awake again. Time to go to bed. I held down the website while y'all were gone.
Got accepted into washu 2 days ago but still haven’t received acceptance email, is this normal?
