Read a random definition: disposing mind and memory

A quick definition of law martial:

Law Martial, also known as Martial Law, is a set of strict rules that the military enforces during times of war or when the government believes that civil authority has failed. The military takes control of the country to ensure public safety and restore civil authority. Martial law is imposed when the rulers foresee an invasion, insurrection, economic collapse, or other breakdown of the rulers' desired social order. It is like a public right of self-defense against a danger threatening the order or the existence of the state. The military uses force to repress illegal force and the extent of military force used depends on the extent of the disturbance.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Law Martial is also known as Martial Law. It is a law that is imposed during wartime when the army takes control of the country instead of the civil authority. This is done to ensure military security or public safety. The military takes control until the civil authority can be restored. It is also a set of strict rules that are imposed when the rulers perceive that the civil government has failed or might fail to function. Martial law is usually imposed when the rulers foresee an invasion, insurrection, economic collapse, or other breakdown of the rulers' desired social order.

Examples:

  • During a war, if the government feels that the civil authority is not able to maintain law and order, they may impose martial law. This means that the military will take control of the country and govern it until the civil authority can be restored.
  • If there is a threat of an invasion or insurrection, the government may impose martial law to ensure public safety.
  • If there is a breakdown of the social order due to economic collapse or other reasons, the government may impose martial law to restore order.

These examples illustrate how martial law is imposed to ensure public safety and maintain law and order during times of crisis. It is a measure taken by the government to protect the citizens and the country from any potential threats.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to

but that's literally just going off vibes
it looks like Berk vid is in response to a known prompt. My thinking is it may be a counter to AI by getting people to have to respond to what is essentially an essay prompt but on video
"I think really it’s more the USNWR change that emphasizes employment outcomes in school rankings. Schools want to admit people who have the skills to be more likely to land great jobs even more than before, and being a good interviewer is a very important for that. They want to see you have the soft skills." from a reddit comment

One funny thing when talking to lawyers at work is that they will always say how they wish more law schools had interviews to make sure you can like... talk to people and form sentences
