A quick definition of major-and-minor fault rule:

Major-and-minor fault rule: This is a rule that helps people understand how to determine who is at fault in a situation. It is also known as the major-minor fault rule. The rule states that if one person is mostly responsible for an accident or problem, they are considered to have a major fault. If both people involved share some responsibility, they are considered to have a minor fault. This rule is used in many different situations, such as car accidents or workplace incidents, to help determine who should be held responsible for what happened.

A more thorough explanation:

The major-and-minor fault rule is a driving rule that is used to determine whether a driver has passed or failed their driving test. It is also known as the major-minor fault rule.

During a driving test, the examiner will mark any mistakes made by the driver as either a major or minor fault. A major fault is a serious mistake that could potentially be dangerous, such as running a red light or not stopping at a stop sign. A minor fault is a less serious mistake, such as not checking the mirrors before changing lanes.

The major-and-minor fault rule states that a driver can make up to 15 minor faults during their driving test and still pass. However, if they make a single major fault, they will automatically fail.

For example, if a driver forgets to signal when turning, this would be considered a minor fault. However, if they run a red light, this would be considered a major fault and they would fail their driving test.

Another example would be if a driver forgets to check their blind spot before changing lanes. This would be considered a minor fault. However, if they swerve into another lane without checking their blind spot, this would be considered a major fault and they would fail their driving test.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
