A quick definition of filius populi:

Term: FILIUS POPULI

Definition: Filius populi means "son of the people" or "son of nobody". It was a term used in history to describe a child who was born out of wedlock, which means their parents were not married. Because of this, the child had very few rights and could not inherit anything from their parents. They were considered to be the son or daughter of nobody, which is why they were also called filius nullius.

A more thorough explanation:

Filius populi is a Latin term that means "son of the people" or "son of nobody." In history, it referred to an illegitimate child who had no legal father.

According to William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, a bastard or illegitimate child was considered a filius nullius or filius populi. This meant that they had very few rights and could not inherit anything from their father.

For example, if a woman had a child out of wedlock, the child would be considered a filius populi and would not have any legal claim to their father's property or inheritance.

The term filius populi was used to describe an illegitimate child who had no legal father. This meant that they had very few rights and could not inherit anything from their father. The example of a child born out of wedlock illustrates how the term was used in history.

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)
