A quick definition of uniform statute:

A uniform statute is a law made by a group of people who want all the states to follow the same rules. It can be made by a government or other group that has the power to make laws. The law can tell people what they must do or what they cannot do. Sometimes, a law can be changed or removed if it is not working well. A uniform statute is important because it helps to make sure that everyone is following the same rules and that things are fair for everyone.

A more thorough explanation:

A uniform statute is a law that is drafted with the intention that it will be adopted by all or most of the states. It is similar to a model act, but with the added goal of achieving uniformity across state lines.

For example, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a uniform statute that governs commercial transactions across the United States. It has been adopted, with some variations, by all 50 states. Another example is the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), which provides a framework for determining which state has jurisdiction in child custody cases.

These examples illustrate how uniform statutes can help create consistency and predictability in areas of law that affect people and businesses across state lines. By adopting the same laws, states can reduce confusion and promote fairness and efficiency in legal proceedings.

bro was just asking a question
U have great stats! I wouldn't be too nervous. Did u write why Northwestern and why Chicago?
oh cornells going wl crazy
16:22
having a masters degree is probably a positive, it shows you can do grad level coursework and probably generated a strong rec letter
@RightPlant: you have a great chance at Northwestern!
Chicago, also not a bad chance, but it is more of a crapshoot
Esp since they care more about GPA than LSAT

@jackfrost11770: Man, I watched a video summarizing the stuff I missed in Arcane. You know, all the boring mel and ambessa stuff and that shit is actually incredibly important to the lore. That stuff is all LeBlanc shit and LeBlanc is like one of the most powerful characters in league.
