A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Great Writ is another term for Habeas Corpus, which is a legal term that means "that you have the body." It is a writ used to bring a person before a court to ensure that their imprisonment or detention is not illegal. It can also be used to test the legality of an arrest or commitment, obtain review of the regularity of the extradition process, the right to or amount of bail, or the jurisdiction of a court that has imposed a criminal sentence.

Example: If someone is arrested and detained without a proper reason, they can file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to challenge their detention and bring them before a court. For example, if someone is arrested for a crime they did not commit, they can use the writ of habeas corpus to prove their innocence and be released from detention.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the writ of habeas corpus can be used to challenge the legality of an arrest or detention. It ensures that a person's rights are protected and that they are not held in custody without a proper reason. The writ of habeas corpus is an important legal tool that helps to safeguard individual liberties and prevent abuses of power by the government.

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)
