perpetual statute

Read a random definition: judgment as a matter of law

A quick definition of perpetual statute:

A perpetual statute is a law that doesn't have an end date or a way to be cancelled. It's like a rule that will always be there, unless someone makes a new law to change it. Laws can be made by different groups, like the government or a court, and they can be about different things, like how to behave or what punishments to give for breaking the law. A perpetual statute is a law that will always be in place, unless someone decides to change it.

A more thorough explanation:

A perpetual statute is a law that contains no provision for repeal, abrogation, or expiration. It means that the law will remain in effect forever unless it is specifically repealed or amended by another law.

For example, the United States Constitution is a perpetual statute because it has no expiration date and cannot be repealed. Another example is the Magna Carta, which is a British statute that has been in effect since 1215 and has never been repealed.

These examples illustrate how a perpetual statute is a law that is intended to be permanent and cannot be easily changed or repealed.

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
