Read a random definition: number lottery

A quick definition of view of frankpledge:

View of Frankpledge: A gathering that happened twice a year where every freeman over the age of 12 had to show up and prove they were loyal to the king and had found nine other freemen to vouch for their good behavior. Frankpledge was a promise made by a group of ten freeholders to behave well and ensure the group's good conduct. If someone in the group did something wrong, the others had to produce them for trial. This was a way to keep the peace and make sure everyone was following the rules.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: View of Frankpledge was a twice-yearly gathering and inspection of every freeman within a district who was more than 12 years old. The purpose was to determine whether each person had taken the oath of allegiance and had found nine freeman pledges for their peaceable demeanor. Frankpledge, on the other hand, was a promise given to the sovereign by a group of ten freeholders (a tithing) ensuring the group's good conduct.

Example: In medieval England, the king's officials would hold a View of Frankpledge to ensure that every freeman had taken the oath of allegiance and had found nine freeman pledges for their peaceable demeanor. This was a way to maintain law and order in the community.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the View of Frankpledge was used to ensure that every freeman in a district was loyal to the king and had found nine freeman pledges for their peaceable demeanor. This was important to maintain law and order in the community and prevent any rebellions or uprisings.

Example: The frankpledge system required a group of ten men to be responsible for each other's good behavior. If one member of the group committed a crime, the others were responsible for producing the wrongdoer for trial.

Explanation: The example shows how the frankpledge system worked. A group of ten men would be responsible for each other's good behavior, and if one member committed a crime, the others would be responsible for producing the wrongdoer for trial. This ensured that everyone in the group was held accountable for their actions and helped maintain law and order in the community.

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
