A quick definition of Model Marriage and Divorce Act:

The Model Marriage and Divorce Act is a law that was created in 1970 to help make marriage and divorce laws more similar across different states. It defines what marriage and divorce mean and was changed in 1973 to make "irreconcilable differences" the only reason for divorce. Even though only a few states have fully adopted this law, it has still had a big impact on marriage and divorce laws in all states.

A more thorough explanation:

The Model Marriage and Divorce Act is a model statute created in 1970 that defines marriage and divorce. It was created by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws to make marriage and divorce laws more uniform across different states in the United States.

The Act was amended in 1973 and introduced the concept of irreconcilable differences as the sole ground for divorce. This means that a couple can get divorced if they can't work out their differences and reconcile their marriage.

Although the Model Marriage and Divorce Act has only been enacted in part in a few states, it has had a significant impact on marriage and divorce laws in all states.

For example, the concept of irreconcilable differences has become a common ground for divorce in many states. This means that couples can get divorced without having to prove that one spouse did something wrong, like committing adultery or abuse.

Overall, the Model Marriage and Divorce Act has helped to make marriage and divorce laws more consistent across different states, and has made it easier for couples to get divorced without having to go through a lengthy and contentious legal process.

I heard Wyte Claws are outlawed on law school campuses since there are no laws when drinkin claws, hence they defeat the purpose of learning law, is that true?

@HeadyInvincibleRabbit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/comments/1jt3hdb/share_of_lsdata_users_that_have_heard_back_from/ Re 87% in that time frame have heard back (of LSD users). So figure 70% of BC applicants use LSD, I would say there is a decent chance you will hear back hopefully soon. IG from the school chat on here there was a recent R wave, so if that was not you, that is a plus
@llama thanks bro just tryna stay positive
in addition to formal LOCIs that I attach to emails, i can also send shorter emails closer to deposit deadlines to express my continued interest, right??
20:29
@HeadyInvincibleRabbit: LOCIs every 4 weeks if you are wait listed is what I have been told. On schools you have not heard from, I have also heard you should not contact them. I disagree: admittance is a binary event [with infinite inputs like ur gpa, lsat, how the adcom is feeling that day, if they like u for whatever reason outside of your control] : you get in or you do not, so if by u emailing them a few times to express your continued interest/ if you have a question, I do not see the issue with that. However, someone else here may say otherwise. Take what I say with a micro grain tho lol
