reapportionment

Read a random definition: collateral consequence

A quick definition of reapportionment:

Reapportionment: When the population of an area changes, the boundaries of the legislative district may need to be adjusted to make sure that each district has a similar number of people. This is called reapportionment or redistricting. The U.S. Supreme Court requires that this be done fairly.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Reapportionment is the process of redrawing the boundaries of legislative districts to reflect changes in population.

For example, let's say that a state has 10 congressional districts, each with roughly the same number of people. Over time, some districts may become more populous than others due to factors such as migration or birth rates. Reapportionment would involve adjusting the boundaries of these districts so that each one has roughly the same number of people again.

Reapportionment is required by the U.S. Constitution, which mandates that congressional districts be reapportioned every 10 years based on the results of the census. This ensures that each state is represented fairly in Congress and that each person's vote carries roughly the same weight.

Reapportionment is sometimes confused with gerrymandering, which is the practice of drawing district boundaries in a way that favors one political party or group over another. While gerrymandering can occur during the reapportionment process, it is not the same thing as reapportionment itself.

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)
