A quick definition of penal redress:

Penal redress is a way to punish someone who has done something wrong by making them pay the full amount of money that the person they harmed lost. This is different from other types of punishment because it is focused on making the person who did wrong pay for the harm they caused. It is a way to make things right for the person who was hurt.

A more thorough explanation:

Penal redress is a form of punishment that requires the offender to compensate the victim for their loss. This compensation is meant to be a full value of the loss, which may exceed the benefit gained by the offender. It is a means of seeking relief or remedy for the victim.

  • If someone steals your car, penal redress would require them to compensate you for the full value of the car.
  • If someone causes damage to your property, penal redress would require them to pay for the full cost of repairs.

These examples illustrate how penal redress works. The offender is punished by having to pay for the full value of the loss they caused to the victim. This is meant to deter them from committing similar offenses in the future and to provide some form of justice for the victim.

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

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
