A quick definition of free seas:

Free Seas: The term "sea" refers to the ocean, a large body of saltwater that can be either landlocked or part of the open ocean. The "high seas" or "free seas" are the parts of the ocean that are beyond the control of any country. In the past, this was considered to be 3 miles from the coast, but now it is generally accepted to be 12 miles. The 1982 U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea established a 200-mile exclusive economic zone for coastal shores.

A more thorough explanation:

Free seas refer to the open ocean or high seas beyond the jurisdiction of any country. This means that no country has control over these areas.

For example, the Mediterranean Sea is a large landlocked part of the ocean, while the rough sea refers to the ocean swell. A sea of documents means an extremely large or extended quantity of documents.

Under traditional international law, the high seas began 3 miles from the coast, but today, the distance is generally accepted to be 12 miles. Coastal shores now have a 200-mile exclusive economic zone under the 1982 U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Overall, free seas are areas of the ocean that are not under the control of any country and are open for navigation and other activities.

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)
