A quick definition of leges non scriptae:

Term: LEGES NON SCRIPTAE

Definition: Leges non scriptae refers to unwritten or customary laws, which include ancient acts of Parliament. These are laws that have been passed down through generations and are not written down. They are different from leges scriptae, which are written laws.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Leges non scriptae (lee-jeez non skrip-tee) is a Latin term that refers to unwritten or customary laws, including ancient acts of Parliament. It is the opposite of leges scriptae, which are written laws.

Examples: One example of leges non scriptae is the common law system in England, which is based on unwritten customs and traditions that have been developed over centuries. Another example is the Native American tribal law, which is based on oral traditions and customs passed down from generation to generation.

These examples illustrate how leges non scriptae are laws that are not written down but are instead based on customs, traditions, and oral history. They are often deeply rooted in a society's culture and history and can be just as important as written laws.

Yeah, 7sage has a page that talks about the questions for each schools interview, GULC's seems unique

Idk how much of an effect it has on admissions chances but should be cool either way
ive heard the conversion rate for gulc group interview is pretty high even moreso if you have the stats
it's hard to say but i've also heard that the group interview is harder to get than the alumni interview. but who really knows tbh
im p sure they don't interview everyone and getting one this early should be a great sign!

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
