subsequent remedial measure

Read a random definition: et sic ad judicium

A quick definition of subsequent remedial measure:

Subsequent Remedial Measure: This is when someone takes an action after something bad happens to try and prevent it from happening again. This action cannot be used as evidence to prove that someone was negligent, but it can be used to show who owns or controls something or if it was possible to prevent the bad thing from happening.

Subsidence: This is when the ground sinks or moves from its natural position.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Subsequent remedial measure refers to an action taken after an event that could have prevented the event from happening if taken before. This evidence is not admissible to prove negligence but can be used to prove ownership, control, feasibility, or similar factors.

Example: If a company installs safety equipment after an accident occurs, this is considered a subsequent remedial measure. This evidence cannot be used to prove that the company was negligent in not having the safety equipment before the accident, but it can be used to show that the company took steps to improve safety after the accident.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a subsequent remedial measure is an action taken after an event that could have prevented the event from happening if taken before. In this case, the company installed safety equipment after an accident occurred, which could have prevented the accident if it was installed before. However, this evidence cannot be used to prove negligence, but it can be used to show that the company took steps to improve safety after the accident.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

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
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to
