A quick definition of rescue clause:

A rescue clause, also known as a sue-and-labor clause, is a provision in marine insurance that states the insurer will cover the costs incurred by the insured in protecting the covered property from damage or minimizing actual damages to the property. This means that the insurer will help the insured party protect their interests and cover certain charges incurred in caring for the insured property, whether or not there is any actual loss or damage. It is important to note that sue-and-labor charges can be incurred even if no loss or damage occurs.

A more thorough explanation:

A rescue clause, also known as a sue-and-labor clause, is a provision in marine insurance that covers the costs incurred by the insured in protecting the covered property from damage or minimizing actual damages to the property. The clause requires the insurer to "sue and labor" to protect the insured party's interests.

For example, if a ship is in danger of sinking, the owner may incur expenses to prevent the ship from sinking, such as hiring a salvage company to pump out water. The rescue clause would cover these expenses.

The sue-and-labor clause is separate from the perils clause, which covers losses or damages caused by specific risks, such as storms or collisions. The rescue clause covers expenses incurred to prevent or minimize losses, regardless of whether there is actual damage to the property.

Overall, the rescue clause provides additional protection to the insured party and ensures that they are not left with significant expenses in the event of a potential loss or damage to their property.

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
