open letter of credit

Read a random definition: emerita

A quick definition of open letter of credit:

An open letter of credit is a type of letter of credit that can be paid on a simple draft without the need for documentary title. It is an instrument under which a bank agrees to honor a draft or other demand for payment made by a third party, as long as the draft or demand complies with specified conditions, and regardless of whether any underlying agreement between the customer and the beneficiary is satisfied. Open letters of credit are governed by Article 5 of the UCC and are used when there will be multiple drafts under a single transaction or multiple transactions under a single credit.

A more thorough explanation:

An open letter of credit is a type of letter of credit that can be paid on a simple draft without the need for documentary title. It is a commercial law instrument under which the issuer, usually a bank, agrees to honor a draft or other demand for payment made by a third party, as long as the draft or demand complies with specified conditions, and regardless of whether any underlying agreement between the customer and the beneficiary is satisfied.

For example, if a company in the United States wants to buy goods from a company in China, they may use an open letter of credit. The U.S. company's bank would issue the letter of credit to the Chinese company's bank, guaranteeing payment upon presentation of a simple draft. This allows the Chinese company to ship the goods without worrying about payment, and the U.S. company to receive the goods before making payment.

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
