A quick definition of no cause of action:

Term: No Cause of Action

Definition: No cause of action means that there is no legal basis for a person to bring a lawsuit against someone else. It's like saying that there is no reason to sue because the person did not do anything wrong. It's a legal term that means the case cannot proceed because there is no valid claim or legal right to sue.

Term: Nocent

Definition: Nocent is an old-fashioned word that means harmful or guilty. If something is nocent, it can cause harm or damage. If a person is nocent, it means they have done something wrong or committed a crime. It's the opposite of innocent, which means not guilty or not causing harm.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: No cause of action means that there is no legal basis for a lawsuit. It is a situation where a plaintiff (the person who filed the lawsuit) cannot prove that the defendant (the person being sued) did anything wrong or illegal.

Example: If someone slips and falls in a store, they may try to sue the store for their injuries. However, if it is determined that the store did not do anything wrong and the person simply fell due to their own clumsiness, the court may find that there is no cause of action and dismiss the case.

Explanation: In this example, the person who fell cannot prove that the store was negligent or did anything to cause their injury. Therefore, there is no legal basis for the lawsuit and the court will dismiss the case.

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
