A quick definition of redisseisin:

REDISSEISIN: When someone takes away something that belongs to another person, it is called a disseisin. Redisseisin is when the same person takes away the same thing again after the first time. It is like stealing something twice. To get back what was taken, the person can use a special legal document called a writ of redisseisin.

REDISTRIBUTION: When things are given out or shared, it is called distribution. Redistribution is when things are given out or shared again, but in a different way. For example, if a teacher gives out pencils to some students but not others, they might decide to redistribute the pencils so that everyone has one. Redistribution can also refer to sharing things like money or resources in a fairer way.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Redisseisin is a legal term that refers to the act of dispossessing someone of their estate by someone who has already done so in the past. It can also refer to a writ used to recover an estate that has been dispossessed by redisseisin.

Example: John was dispossessed of his estate by Jane. Later, Jane was dispossessed of the same estate by Tom. This is an example of redisseisin because Tom has already dispossessed John of the same estate in the past.

Tell us what's important to you

i don't think it has a detrimental effect on your chances of admission
13:34
but also you don't need to tell them anything so lol
Can y'all help me understand something lol. What does it mean for an app to "go complete"? Is that when the school has reviewed it and made a decision?
13:35
Na, it's when they have all the required information
Gotcha. So what would be the difference between received and completed?
Does complete entail like the app + LORs?
13:35
correct
That makes sense. Thank you!
13:36
complete basically means they've acknowledged receipt and it's ready to go under review whenever they start the deliberative process

I still haven't had Chicago or Cornell go complete, but I think that's just how they be
13:41
when did you submit
CaringEquableGuppy
13:42
How do you know when an application is complete? Is it on LSAC or the school's portal?
13:43
it'll be on the school-specific portal
Quillinit
13:44
when they opened
Quillinit
13:45
they both say something along the lines of "received and waiting to be processed"
13:48
anyone have good resources for revising a personal statement for reuse after applying with it last cycle?
13:49
Any guesses when Cornell and Penn CRS fee waivers will go out?
13:51
@Quillinit: from my recollection, chicago and cornell collapse complete/UR1 into a single step, so they may simply not be ready to begin reviewing applications
13:52
i think it's fair to assume, barring a handful of schools like UVA, most schools won't begin reviewing applications in earnest until the beginning of next month at the earliest, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear that applications are just sitting in the queue
13:54
@oakenrays: I was just gonna write a new one personally but I think you want to make it recognizably different from your previous PS
13:56
@baddestbunny: definitely agree that some revision and additional information is warranted but, my why law is the same... I guess just tell the same story in a different way
14:03
ugh fineeee I'll write a new stupid essay
14:07
yeah I told my last essay about a formative experience and am trying to update it now to be about what I’ve learned since that experience
recently wrapped up interview
i re-wrote my PS this cycle when I reapplied
fire drill at work
