A quick definition of Suits in Admiralty Act:

The Suits in Admiralty Act is a law that allows people who have been hurt in maritime accidents to sue the government. This law was created in 1920 and applies to cases involving ships and boats. It gives injured parties the right to seek compensation for their injuries.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Suits in Admiralty Act is a federal law passed in 1920 that allows individuals who have been injured to sue the government in admiralty court. This law applies to cases involving maritime law, such as accidents that occur on ships or other vessels.

Example: If a sailor is injured while working on a government-owned ship, they may be able to file a lawsuit against the government under the Suits in Admiralty Act. Similarly, if a passenger is injured on a government-owned ferry, they may also be able to file a lawsuit under this law.

The examples illustrate how the Suits in Admiralty Act can be used to hold the government accountable for injuries that occur on maritime vessels. This law provides injured parties with a legal avenue to seek compensation for their damages, even if the government is involved.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
