A quick definition of penal action:

Penal action is a legal process where one party takes another party to court to enforce or protect a right, seek redress or prevent a wrong, or punish a public offense. It can be a civil or criminal proceeding. In simple terms, it's like going to a judge to ask for help when someone has done something wrong to you or someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Penal action refers to a civil or criminal judicial proceeding taken against someone for the enforcement or protection of a right, the redress or prevention of a wrong, or the punishment of a public offense. It is a legal process that can result in a judgment or decree.

Example: If someone commits a crime, they may face penal action in the form of a trial and potential punishment such as imprisonment or fines. Similarly, if someone violates a contract, the other party may take penal action by suing them in court for damages.

Explanation: Penal action is a legal process that can be taken in various situations where someone's rights have been violated or a wrong has been committed. The examples illustrate how penal action can be taken in criminal and civil cases to seek justice and enforce legal rights.

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
