Read a random definition: aller a Dieu

A quick definition of OWI:

OWI stands for Operating While Intoxicated. This means that someone is driving a car while they are not able to do so safely because they have consumed alcohol or drugs. It is against the law to operate a vehicle in this condition. Sometimes OWI is also called DUI, DWAI, DUIL, DWI, OUI, OMVI, or OMVUI.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: OWI stands for Operating While Intoxicated. It is a criminal offense of operating a motor vehicle while being physically or mentally impaired, especially after consuming alcohol or drugs. This offense is also known as Driving Under the Influence (DUI).

Examples: If a person is caught driving a car after drinking too much alcohol, they can be charged with OWI or DUI. In some places, the terms OWI and DUI are used interchangeably. However, in some jurisdictions, OWI is considered a lesser offense than DUI.

Explanation: OWI is a serious offense that endangers the lives of the driver, passengers, and other people on the road. It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol because it impairs a person's ability to drive safely. The examples illustrate how a person can be charged with OWI or DUI if they are caught driving while intoxicated. It is important to avoid drinking and driving to prevent accidents and legal consequences.

white claw should be considered spicy water

llama

17:57

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

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??

llama

@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
