marine-rescue doctrine

Read a random definition: Video news release

A quick definition of marine-rescue doctrine:

The marine-rescue doctrine is a rule that says if someone falls off a ship, the ship must do everything they can to find and save that person. If they can see the person, they must try to get them out of the water. If they can't see the person, they must keep looking for them as long as they think the person might still be alive.

A more thorough explanation:

The marine-rescue doctrine is a rule that requires a ship to use all reasonable means to retrieve a person who has gone overboard from the water if the person can be seen. If the person cannot be seen, the ship must search for the person as long as it is reasonably possible that the person is still alive.

For example, if a crew member falls off a ship and is visible in the water, the ship must immediately take action to retrieve the crew member. This may involve throwing a lifebuoy or deploying a rescue boat to bring the person back on board.

If the crew member is not visible, the ship must conduct a search and rescue operation for as long as it is reasonable to believe that the person is still alive. This may involve using radar, sonar, or other equipment to locate the person, or deploying search and rescue teams to search the surrounding area.

The marine-rescue doctrine is an important principle that helps to ensure the safety of those who work at sea. By requiring ships to take prompt and effective action to rescue crew members who have fallen overboard, the doctrine helps to prevent accidents and save lives.

UCI hella liberal and trans. I think you would like it. More liberal than like Berk and UCLA if you can imagine. @Eggan

I did astrophysics for 3 years and hated it. Dropped out of my first college cus of it. @limpweeny

Do not recommend studying physics. Super boring, a lot of math, and most results are not replicable.

Ill say this though. I studied a lot of Otto Hahn and was happy to see him at the start of Oppenheimer. Made a little appearance. Nice tribute.
19:08
@Dkk: i know the makeup of UCI but im not from california and i didn't like how i'd have to be isolated from the labor movement since it's not very close to LA and OC is mostly a bunch of rich people tbh
19:09
i like berk's proximity to san francisco. the bay area is full of surprises when it comes to labor
19:11
thats why i'm mostly centered on cities with major labor activity this cycle (besides chicago) such as NYC, boston DC (where the union headquarters usually are)
19:11
Anyone else hella concerned w the uptick in applicants? Not sure if I can use the LSD data of the past to reference
some dean said they're only expecting 5-15% increase over the whole cycle, still not great, but not 30% like currently
19:15
Ohhh okay thank goodness. I saw +38% and lowk got scared
19:16
That doesn’t seem too bad if they increase class size by a bit 🙏

Ahh that is true but OC Disney Unions. Can always be involved in those. Some of the biggest unions in California. I was part of that for a couple years but my union was corrupt. @Eggan

Berk is definitely more fun. Unions in LA are of course the screen actors guild and then hospitality stuff like restaurants. It will be good wherever you go imo if that is what you are into.

@sadpadresfan: yeah, Spivey said the same thing wasp pointed out. 30% to start to 15% at the end. I think part of it may also be people just want more variety. Maybe a similar amount of applicants but more variety. More waitlist movement potentially this year. Schools fighting harder for people.
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: the NU dean. Him and Spivey did a podcast on it.
And if you look at the numbers they're starting to come down. A couple weeks ago we were up 36 percent up, now we're only 26 percent up.

@texaslawhopefully: if you are trying to do texas law, why not go to UT Austin. Probably better scholarships for you compared to Harvard and its a pipeline. Unless, of course, scholarships don't matter in your case.
i studied hard stem but i just hate being in an actual lab lol
depends on the type of lab work that you do, the only thing i did enjoy doing was bacterial genetics because that shit is super fast and fun, but working in a wet lab is just a lottttt of sitting and waiting around
hence law, lmao
@NotJustALawyer: I'm trying to do an appellate clerkship and the very top schools just have better placement. And yes, I'm still considering UT, but I think with my numbers I can get scholarship money at most of the T14.
Also I made my username before I had my lsat back and then UT was my top choice, but I’ve been somewhat open geographically. I also have ties to Texas so I don’t think it’d be hard to get back here if I left the state for law school.
