interdiction

Read a random definition: Trespass

A quick definition of interdiction:

Interdiction is when someone is not allowed to do something or when something is taken away from them. It can mean that a government stops people from trading with each other, or that something illegal is taken away by the authorities. In some cases, interdiction can also mean that someone is not allowed to make decisions for themselves because they are not able to do so, such as when someone is mentally incapable. This is done to protect them and their belongings.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Interdiction refers to the act of forbidding or restraining something. It can also refer to the interception and seizure of something, especially contraband. In civil law, it is the act of depriving a person of the right to handle their own affairs due to mental incapacity.

  • A government may impose an interdiction on commercial trade with a particular country for political reasons.
  • Customs officials may conduct an interdiction of illegal drugs being smuggled into the country.
  • In civil law, a court may impose an interdiction on a person who is mentally incapacitated and unable to manage their own affairs.

These examples illustrate how interdiction can be used to prohibit or restrict certain actions or behaviors. It can be used by governments to control trade or by law enforcement to prevent illegal activities. In civil law, it is used to protect individuals who are unable to make decisions for themselves due to mental incapacity.

i don't think it has a detrimental effect on your chances of admission
13:34
but also you don't need to tell them anything so lol
Can y'all help me understand something lol. What does it mean for an app to "go complete"? Is that when the school has reviewed it and made a decision?
13:35
Na, it's when they have all the required information
Gotcha. So what would be the difference between received and completed?
Does complete entail like the app + LORs?
13:35
correct
That makes sense. Thank you!
13:36
complete basically means they've acknowledged receipt and it's ready to go under review whenever they start the deliberative process

How do you know when an application is complete? Is it on LSAC or the school's portal?
13:43
it'll be on the school-specific portal
Quillinit
13:44
when they opened
Quillinit
13:45
they both say something along the lines of "received and waiting to be processed"
13:48
anyone have good resources for revising a personal statement for reuse after applying with it last cycle?
13:49
Any guesses when Cornell and Penn CRS fee waivers will go out?
13:51
@Quillinit: from my recollection, chicago and cornell collapse complete/UR1 into a single step, so they may simply not be ready to begin reviewing applications
13:52
i think it's fair to assume, barring a handful of schools like UVA, most schools won't begin reviewing applications in earnest until the beginning of next month at the earliest, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear that applications are just sitting in the queue
13:54
@oakenrays: I was just gonna write a new one personally but I think you want to make it recognizably different from your previous PS
13:56
@baddestbunny: definitely agree that some revision and additional information is warranted but, my why law is the same... I guess just tell the same story in a different way
14:03
ugh fineeee I'll write a new stupid essay
14:07
yeah I told my last essay about a formative experience and am trying to update it now to be about what I’ve learned since that experience
recently wrapped up interview
i re-wrote my PS this cycle when I reapplied
fire drill at work
