A quick definition of warrant of commitment:

A warrant of commitment is a legal document that authorizes the detention or imprisonment of a person. It is issued by a court or other authorized entity and is typically used when someone has been found guilty of a crime or has failed to comply with a court order. Essentially, it is a way for the authorities to enforce the law and ensure that individuals who have been deemed a threat to society are removed from the community.

A more thorough explanation:

A warrant of commitment is a legal document that authorizes the detention or imprisonment of a person. It is issued by a court or a judge and is usually used when a person has been found guilty of a crime or has failed to comply with a court order.

John was found guilty of theft and was sentenced to six months in jail. The judge issued a warrant of commitment, which authorized the police to take John into custody and transport him to the prison.

Another example is when a person fails to pay child support as ordered by the court. The court may issue a warrant of commitment, which authorizes the police to arrest the person and take them to jail until they pay the child support.

These examples illustrate how a warrant of commitment is used to enforce court orders and ensure that individuals who have been found guilty of a crime or have failed to comply with a court order are held accountable for their actions.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+

if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
