A quick definition of premises liability:

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of a property owner or manager for any accidents or injuries that occur on their property. This means that if someone is hurt or harmed while on someone else's property, the owner or manager may be held liable for any damages. This can include slip and fall accidents, dog bites, or other incidents that occur due to unsafe conditions or negligence on the part of the property owner.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of a landowner or landholder for any injuries or damages that occur on their property due to unsafe conditions or activities.

Examples:

  • If a customer slips and falls on a wet floor in a grocery store, the store owner may be held liable for any resulting injuries.
  • If a visitor is attacked by a dog on someone's property, the dog owner may be held liable for any injuries sustained.
  • If a person falls down a flight of stairs in an apartment building due to a broken handrail, the landlord may be held liable for any resulting injuries.

These examples illustrate how a landowner or landholder can be held responsible for any injuries or damages that occur on their property due to unsafe conditions or activities. It is important for property owners to maintain a safe environment for visitors and take necessary precautions to prevent accidents from happening.

Yeah, 7sage has a page that talks about the questions for each schools interview, GULC's seems unique

Idk how much of an effect it has on admissions chances but should be cool either way
ive heard the conversion rate for gulc group interview is pretty high even moreso if you have the stats
it's hard to say but i've also heard that the group interview is harder to get than the alumni interview. but who really knows tbh
im p sure they don't interview everyone and getting one this early should be a great sign!
