Simple English definitions for legal terms

observer

Read a random definition: petit treason

A quick definition of observer:

Observer: A person who represents a country or organization and attends meetings of an international group they are not a member of, like the United Nations. Observers can talk and share their opinions, but they cannot vote or sign papers.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An observer is a representative of a country or international organization who attends meetings of an international body, such as the United Nations, to which the observer's country does not belong. Observers do not have the right to vote or sign documents, but they are sometimes allowed to participate in discussions.

For example, if a country is not a member of the United Nations, it can send an observer to attend the meetings. The observer can listen to the discussions and express their opinions, but they cannot vote on any decisions made by the UN.

Another example is when an international organization, such as the European Union, sends an observer to a meeting of a different organization, such as the World Trade Organization. The observer can provide input and participate in discussions, but they do not have the power to make decisions or sign any agreements.

These examples illustrate how observers are allowed to attend meetings and participate in discussions, but they do not have the same rights as members of the organization. Observers are there to observe and provide input, but they cannot make any binding decisions.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.
