Read a random definition: feodary

A quick definition of odio et atia:

ODIO ET ATIA: A legal term that means "of hatred and malice." It refers to a writ that was used in the past to determine if a person who was jailed for murder was charged for a good reason or just because someone didn't like them. The writ would summon a 12-member jury to investigate and decide if the prisoner should be released on bail. If the prisoner was accused out of spite or acted in self-defense, they would be released on bail. This writ was first mentioned in Magna Carta and is similar to habeas corpus.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Odio et atia is a legal term that means "of hatred and malice." It refers to a writ that orders a sheriff to summon a 12-member jury to investigate whether a prisoner jailed for murder was charged for a good reason or only because of ill-will. The jury would also determine whether bail should be set for the prisoner.

Example: If someone is accused of murder, but it is suspected that the charges were brought against them out of spite or malice, a writ of odio et atia may be issued. The jury would then investigate the circumstances surrounding the charges and determine whether bail should be set for the accused.

This writ is similar to habeas corpus and was first mentioned in Magna Carta. It was an important legal protection for individuals who were wrongly accused of crimes and faced imprisonment without just cause.

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
