statute-making

Read a random definition: quod erat faciendum

A quick definition of statute-making:

Statute-making is the process of creating laws in written form by a branch of government. This process involves following a formal procedure to enact a positive law. The law created through this process is called legislation. Legislation can be general, affecting the entire community, or local and special, affecting only a specific geographic area or a particular class of persons. Judicial legislation refers to the making of new legal rules by judges, while subordinate legislation derives from any authority other than the sovereign power in a state. Pork-barrel legislation favors a particular local district by allocating funds or resources to projects of economic value to the district and of political advantage to the district's legislator. The legislative branch is responsible for enacting laws, and it is one of the three branches of government, along with the executive and judicial branches.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The process of creating a written law through a formal procedure by a branch of government. The resulting law is also called legislation.

Examples:

  • A bill being debated and voted on by members of Congress to become a law.
  • A state legislature passing a law that requires all drivers to wear seat belts.

These examples illustrate the process of creating a law through a formal procedure by a branch of government. The resulting law is binding and enforceable.

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

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