A quick definition of unethical:

Unethical: When someone does something that is not right or fair according to the rules of what is good and bad behavior. This can happen when people don't follow the rules that are set for their job or profession, like lawyers who don't treat their clients fairly. It's important to be ethical and do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Unethical (adjective) means not following moral norms or professional standards of conduct. Legal ethics (noun) refers to the minimum standards of appropriate behavior within the legal profession, including the duties that lawyers owe to each other, their clients, and the courts. It can also refer to the study or observance of those duties, as well as the written regulations governing them.

Examples: An example of unethical behavior would be a lawyer who lies to their client or the court. Another example would be a lawyer who takes advantage of their client's trust to benefit themselves financially. These actions violate the standards of legal ethics and can result in disciplinary action or even disbarment.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how unethical behavior goes against the moral and professional standards expected of lawyers. Lying to a client or the court undermines the integrity of the legal system and can harm innocent people. Taking advantage of a client's trust is a breach of the lawyer's duty to act in their client's best interests. These actions are not only unethical but can also be illegal and have serious consequences for the lawyer involved.

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

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
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
