A quick definition of law commission:

A law commission is a group of people who work together to suggest changes to the law that will make it better. They review the law and try to make it easier to understand and follow. Their goal is to improve the way justice is served and make the law more organized.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A law commission is an official or quasi-official group of people who propose legal reforms to improve the administration of justice. They review the law with the aim of developing and reforming it systematically, often through codification.

For example, in India, the Law Commission of India is a statutory body that advises the government on legal reform. It has been responsible for recommending changes to laws on topics such as marriage and divorce, criminal law, and environmental protection.

The Law Commission of England and Wales is another example. It was established in 1965 and has since made recommendations on a wide range of legal issues, including the reform of the criminal law, the regulation of surrogacy, and the modernization of the law on wills.

These examples illustrate how law commissions work to improve the legal system by proposing changes to existing laws or creating new ones. They are tasked with reviewing the law and making recommendations for reform, with the ultimate goal of improving the administration of justice.

@JazzyGazelle: also why tf did they keep telling you it would come out sooner

Yes supposedly by next tuesday IF they're actually being accurate this time. During the call yesterday afternoon they said they can't PROMISE my decision will be out, but that they will basically have a wave before next wed (since thanksgiving break happens). Dean was the one who kept changing the dates on me, I think they just had a HUGE number of applications that they didn't really expect.

@ImpartialLion: I missed the NYU wave though and no YLS invite
I am sure we will all get into great places
I feel like NYU will come with time and it's a mess due to app increases. YLS is such a weird invite tho. 30% conversion rate
