A quick definition of territorial law:

Term: Territorial Law

Definition: Territorial law is the set of rules that apply to everyone who is in a certain place, no matter where they come from. It includes not only the laws that govern what people do in that place, but also the rules for deciding which laws to use when people from different places are involved. For example, if two people from different countries make a contract in Paris, a court in England might use English rules to decide if the contract is valid. This is part of territorial law because it is a rule made by the English government that applies to people who are not English citizens.

A more thorough explanation:

Territorial law is the set of laws that apply to all people within a specific territory, regardless of their nationality or citizenship.

For example, if you are visiting a foreign country, you are subject to their territorial laws. This means that if you break a law in that country, you will be punished according to their laws.

Territorial law also includes rules for choosing which law to apply in a given situation. For instance, if two foreigners make a contract in Paris, but the contract is being tested in an English court, the court may use English rules for choosing which law to apply.

Overall, territorial law is important because it helps to maintain order and ensure that everyone within a given territory is subject to the same laws and regulations.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
