A quick definition of sea law:

Sea law is a set of rules that governs everything related to ships, boats, and other vessels that travel on water. It includes laws about how people and things can be transported on water, how accidents and injuries are handled, and how disputes are resolved. Sea law is also known as maritime law or admiralty law.

A more thorough explanation:

Sea law, also known as maritime law or admiralty law, is the body of law that governs marine commerce and navigation, as well as the carriage of people and goods at sea. It also covers legal issues related to marine affairs in general, such as contract, tort, and workers' compensation claims.

For example, if a cargo ship is damaged during a storm, sea law would determine who is responsible for the damages and how much compensation should be paid. Similarly, if a worker is injured while working on a ship, sea law would determine their rights to compensation and medical care.

Sea law is important because it helps to ensure that maritime activities are conducted safely and fairly, and that disputes are resolved in a just and efficient manner.

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw

soapy

9:46

But do people get in without addresses going long?

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

9:46

it's tough to tell because a lot of people type out their addresses long to begin with

soapy

9:46

Ah. I didn't. Looking back, my Mich supplement kind of sucks, so there's that

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

soapy

10:06

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

What a good day to get into law school

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

soapy

10:12

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

ClassyPleasantHeron

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

soapy

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.

i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review

my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

soapy

10:25

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?

soapy

10:25

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?

soapy

10:26

Or another essay?
