A quick definition of Securities dispute resolution: Discovery:

Securities dispute resolution: Discovery

The discovery process is when both parties investigate and gather information about the facts and events that led to the claim. They can access information that was previously unavailable. In Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration, parties must cooperate in discovery. If a party refuses to disclose information, the panel can order them to do so and even impose sanctions. Subpoenas and Orders to Appear or Produce can also be used to force the production of documents or witnesses. Witnesses can be questioned to get a written record of their statements. FINRA provides lists of documents that parties should produce in customer cases.

A more thorough explanation:

The discovery process is a phase in which both parties involved in a securities dispute research and investigate the facts and events that led to the claim. During this phase, parties have access to information that was previously inaccessible to them. However, some parties may try to avoid disclosing unfavorable information.

In Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration, parties are required to cooperate to the fullest extent possible in discovery. If a party is uncooperative, measures can be taken to compel discovery, including orders from the panel directing one party to disclose certain information and even sanctions for difficult parties.

Subpoenas and Orders to Appear or Produce are also available to parties. These allow the parties to force production of either a witness or a document. Witnesses may be deposed in order to obtain a written record of their statements.

For example, in a securities dispute between a customer and a broker, the customer may request documents such as account statements, trade confirmations, and correspondence with the broker. The broker may request documents such as the customer's financial statements and tax returns.

Overall, the discovery phase is an important part of securities dispute resolution as it allows both parties to gather necessary information to support their case.

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
