A quick definition of sanctio:

Term: SANCTIO

Definition: A sanctio is a rule in Roman law that imposes a penalty for breaking a law. It makes the law stronger by punishing those who violate it. The purpose of the sanctio is to make sure that the law is followed and to prevent other laws from contradicting it. It can also state that a previous law still applies even after a new law is passed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Sanctio (sangk-shee-oh) is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to a specific clause in a statute that imposes a penalty on anyone who violates that statute. The plural form of sanctio is sanctiones (sangk-shee-oh-neez).

Example: A sanctio clause in a traffic law may state that anyone caught driving under the influence of alcohol will face a fine of $500 and a suspension of their driver's license for six months.

Explanation: In this example, the sanctio clause is a penalty that is imposed on anyone who violates the traffic law by driving under the influence of alcohol. The purpose of the sanctio clause is to strengthen the efficacy of the law by deterring people from breaking it. The penalty serves as a warning to potential violators that they will face consequences if they break the law.

Another example of a sanctio clause is in a contract between two parties. The clause may state that if one party breaches the contract, they will be required to pay a certain amount of money as a penalty.

Explanation: In this example, the sanctio clause is a penalty that is imposed on the party who breaches the contract. The purpose of the sanctio clause is to ensure that both parties fulfill their obligations under the contract. The penalty serves as a deterrent to the party who may be considering breaching the contract.

Overall, a sanctio clause is an important part of a statute or contract as it helps to ensure that the law or agreement is followed and respected.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to

but that's literally just going off vibes
it looks like Berk vid is in response to a known prompt. My thinking is it may be a counter to AI by getting people to have to respond to what is essentially an essay prompt but on video
"I think really it’s more the USNWR change that emphasizes employment outcomes in school rankings. Schools want to admit people who have the skills to be more likely to land great jobs even more than before, and being a good interviewer is a very important for that. They want to see you have the soft skills." from a reddit comment

One funny thing when talking to lawyers at work is that they will always say how they wish more law schools had interviews to make sure you can like... talk to people and form sentences
