A quick definition of circumvention:

Term: Circumvention

Definition: Circumvention is when someone finds a way to get around a special tool or device that is meant to protect something, like a book or a movie. This is not allowed when it comes to things that are protected by U.S. copyright law. It's like trying to sneak into a movie theater without paying for a ticket. It's against the rules and can get you in trouble.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Circumvention refers to the act of bypassing, avoiding, removing, deactivating, or impairing a technological measure or device that controls access to a work protected by U.S. copyright law. This means that if there is a technology in place to protect a copyrighted work, it is illegal to try to get around it.

For example, if a music streaming service has a technology in place that only allows paying subscribers to access certain songs, it is illegal for someone to try to hack into the system to access those songs without paying.

In Scots law, circumvention also refers to the act of using a facility or method to get around a legal requirement or restriction.

For example, if there is a law that requires all cars to have a certain safety feature, it would be considered circumvention to use a method to disable or remove that safety feature.

These examples illustrate how circumvention involves finding ways to get around established rules or technologies, which can be illegal or unethical.

Can anyone explain to me how the automatic status tracker works? Like do I need to enter just my LSAC/LawHub login info, or does it require the specific login portal credentials for each school? Also, how much information will this update? Will it be just the current status, or will it automatically add date applied, completion date, etc.? Thanks in advance!

Good morning

You’re comparing a scholarship offer you don’t have yet to one you do. Why don’t you wait and see what Berkeley offers you before you come to a decision?
12:20
Because I’m stressing over this huge decision and even if they do give me money it’ll be super super expensive
12:33
Okay fair. Then I guess it depends how much you prioritize the specific outcome of unicorn PI vs graduating without an insane amount of debt
12:59
Yeah exactly 😓

If you truly want “unicorn” PI, I would assume that’s not even a real possibility out of UMiami
13:51
I do think people might be using the term unicorn PI too liberally
13:51
Used to mean career outcomes that were pretty much only possible out of HYS and maybe NYU
Some consider Unicorn PI to include things like Asst US Attorney. In that case, you can achieve that by going anywhere that will allow you sit for the bar so long as your grades are strong and your internships and/or clerkships align.

Chowie go to Berk cause that's probably where I end up
16:34
But in all seriousness I would take Miami. If you're 100% committed to PI I don't think the .1% outcome that may be possible from Berk is worth taking on insane debt
has anyone heard back on a saturday or sunday?
and do we think any school would send out decisions on monday (since its presidents day)
