A quick definition of laws of Wisby:

The Laws of Wisby are a set of rules that were created in the medieval town of Visby, Sweden. They were made to govern trade and commerce in the town and were very important for merchants who wanted to do business there. The Law Spiritual is another term for Ecclesiastical Law, which is the set of rules that govern the Church. A lawsuit is when someone takes legal action against another person or company. Law-talk is when people talk about legal issues using complicated language that can be hard to understand.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Laws of Wisby are a set of medieval laws that were used in the city of Visby, Sweden. They were created in the 13th century and were used to regulate trade and commerce in the city.

Example: The Laws of Wisby were important because they helped to establish Visby as a major trading center in the Baltic region. They also helped to ensure that merchants and traders were treated fairly and that disputes were resolved fairly.

Definition: Law Spiritual refers to the laws and regulations that govern the practices and beliefs of a particular religion or religious organization.

Example: The Catholic Church has its own set of laws and regulations, known as Canon Law, which govern everything from the administration of sacraments to the appointment of bishops. These laws are considered to be part of Law Spiritual because they are based on religious beliefs and practices.

Definition: A lawsuit is a legal action in which one party sues another party in a court of law in order to resolve a dispute or seek compensation for damages.

Example: If someone is injured in a car accident and believes that the other driver was at fault, they may file a lawsuit against the other driver in order to seek compensation for their injuries. This is an example of a lawsuit because it involves one party suing another party in a court of law.

Definition: Law-Talk refers to discussions or conversations that are heavily focused on legal terminology and concepts.

Example: When lawyers are discussing a case, they may use a lot of legal jargon and terminology that can be difficult for non-lawyers to understand. This is an example of Law-Talk because it involves a conversation that is heavily laced with lawyers' concerns and legal references.

as far as i know, that information is simply for data collection purposes
^
13:34
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

I still haven't had Chicago or Cornell go complete, but I think that's just how they be
13:41
when did you submit
CaringEquableGuppy
13:42
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
