STRICTISSIMI JURIS: This is a Latin term that means the strictest right or law. It is used to describe laws that must be interpreted in the strictest way possible. This is usually applied to laws that impose penalties or restrict natural liberties.

A more thorough explanation:

STRICTISSIMI JURIS

Strictissimi juris is a Latin term that means "of the strictest right or law." It refers to laws or statutes that must be interpreted in the strictest manner, especially those that impose penalties or restrict natural liberties.

One example of strictissimi juris is a law that imposes a mandatory minimum sentence for a particular crime. The judge has no discretion to give a lesser sentence, even if they believe it would be more appropriate.

Another example is a law that restricts freedom of speech in certain circumstances, such as during wartime. The law must be interpreted strictly to ensure that people do not abuse their right to free speech and endanger national security.

These examples illustrate how strictissimi juris applies to laws that are designed to protect society and maintain order. By interpreting these laws strictly, the courts ensure that people are held accountable for their actions and that the rights of others are protected.

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
