A quick definition of right of search:

Term: Right of Search

Definition: The right of search is a legal concept in international law that allows a country's navy to stop and search a ship on the high seas to determine if it is carrying goods that could be used to aid an enemy or if it is involved in piracy. This right does not give the navy the authority to destroy the ship without a thorough examination, unless the crew actively resists. The navy officer who boards the ship to conduct the search is called a visitor.

A more thorough explanation:

The right of search is a term used in international law that refers to the right of a belligerent state to stop and examine vessels on the high seas to determine whether they or the goods they carry are liable to capture. This right also includes the right to board and search merchant vessels of neutral states on the high seas if there are suspicious circumstances, such as suspected involvement in piracy.

  • A naval officer from a belligerent state stops and searches a neutral merchant vessel on the high seas to determine whether it is carrying contraband goods that could be used to aid the enemy.
  • A naval officer boards a merchant vessel suspected of involvement in piracy to search for evidence of illegal activity.

These examples illustrate how the right of search allows belligerent states to take action to protect their interests during times of war or conflict. However, this right must be exercised reasonably and with respect for the rights of neutral states and their vessels.

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
