parliamentary will

Read a random definition: DPPA

A quick definition of parliamentary will:

Parliamentary will refers to the laws that determine how a person's property is distributed when they die without a will. It's like the government makes a will for the person who didn't make one themselves. The rules for the parliamentary will are found in the laws passed by the government.

A more thorough explanation:

A parliamentary will refers to the legislation that governs the distribution of an intestate's property. This term is slang and arose because the legislature effectively makes an intestate's will by passing statutes regulating descent and distribution. The terms of the parliamentary will are gathered from the statutes in effect when the intestate died.

For example, if someone dies without a will, the laws of the state where they lived will determine how their property is distributed. These laws are the parliamentary will in action.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure

is Cornell a school where only people who interview get in?
I think so
She said historically a quarter get interview invites and then two thirds of those people get in.
