sovereign right

Read a random definition: Model Penal Code test

A quick definition of sovereign right:

Sovereign Right: A special right that only a country or its organizations have. This right allows them to do things that are important for the good of the people, unlike other rights that are only for individuals or businesses.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Sovereign right is a special right that only a government or its agencies have. This right allows them to perform their official duties for the benefit of the public. It is different from other rights that a government may have as a private entity.

Examples:

  • The government has the sovereign right to make and enforce laws that protect its citizens.
  • The government has the sovereign right to regulate trade and commerce within its borders.
  • The government has the sovereign right to declare war and make peace with other nations.

These examples illustrate how the government has a unique right to perform certain functions that are necessary for the well-being of its citizens. These functions cannot be performed by any other entity, and the government has the authority to carry them out for the public benefit.

I saw that, and I saw you got the Georgetown interview invite yesterday too! Goodluck!

i heard the group interview is really chill and I'm kinda excited to do it
seems cool

Yeah, 7sage has a page that talks about the questions for each schools interview, GULC's seems unique
13:15
Idk how much of an effect it has on admissions chances but should be cool either way
ive heard the conversion rate for gulc group interview is pretty high even moreso if you have the stats
it's hard to say but i've also heard that the group interview is harder to get than the alumni interview. but who really knows tbh
im p sure they don't interview everyone and getting one this early should be a great sign!

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
