Miller Act

Read a random definition: CAN-SPAM Act of 2003: Core Requirements

A quick definition of Miller Act:

The Miller Act is a law that says before someone can get a contract to build or fix a public building, they have to put up a special kind of bond. This bond makes sure that the person doing the work will do a good job and pay the people who helped them. It's like a promise to do things right and take care of everyone involved.

A more thorough explanation:

The Miller Act is a federal law that requires contractors to post performance and payment bonds before being awarded a contract for construction, alteration, or repair of a public work or building. This law was enacted to protect the interests of subcontractors and suppliers who may not receive payment for their work if the contractor defaults on the project.

For example, if a construction company is awarded a contract to build a new courthouse, they must post a performance bond and a payment bond before beginning work. The performance bond ensures that the contractor will complete the project according to the contract specifications, while the payment bond guarantees that subcontractors and suppliers will be paid for their work.

Another example would be if a contractor is hired to repair a government-owned bridge. They would need to post the required bonds before starting the project to ensure that all parties involved are protected.

These examples illustrate how the Miller Act works to protect the interests of subcontractors and suppliers by requiring contractors to provide financial security before beginning work on a public project.

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

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
