A quick definition of Vacate:

Term: Vacate

Definition: Vacate means to leave a place or property. In legal terms, it can also mean to cancel or set aside a previous decision or order.

Illustrative caselaw: Sears v. Upton, 130 S.Ct. 3259 (2010) (a judgment) and Thorpe v. Housing Authority of City of Durham, 393 U.S. 268 (1969) (the premises).

See also: Verdict, Eviction, Real property

A more thorough explanation:

Definition:

  1. In civil and criminal procedure, to set aside or cancel a previous judgment or order.
  2. In property law, to surrender or leave the premises.

Illustrative caselaw:

  • Sears v. Upton, 130 S.Ct. 3259 (2010) - This case involves vacating a judgment, meaning that the previous decision was cancelled or set aside.
  • Thorpe v. Housing Authority of City of Durham, 393 U.S. 268 (1969) - This case involves vacating the premises, meaning that the tenant surrendered or left the property.

Explanation:

When a judgment or order is vacated, it means that the previous decision is cancelled or set aside. This can happen in both civil and criminal cases. In property law, vacating the premises means that the tenant surrenders or leaves the property. The two cases provided illustrate both definitions of vacate. In Sears v. Upton, the judgment was vacated, and in Thorpe v. Housing Authority of City of Durham, the tenant vacated the premises.

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
