A quick definition of law commission:

A law commission is a group of people who work together to suggest changes to the law that will make it better. They review the law and try to make it easier to understand and follow. Their goal is to improve the way justice is served and make the law more organized.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A law commission is an official or quasi-official group of people who propose legal reforms to improve the administration of justice. They review the law with the aim of developing and reforming it systematically, often through codification.

For example, in India, the Law Commission of India is a statutory body that advises the government on legal reform. It has been responsible for recommending changes to laws on topics such as marriage and divorce, criminal law, and environmental protection.

The Law Commission of England and Wales is another example. It was established in 1965 and has since made recommendations on a wide range of legal issues, including the reform of the criminal law, the regulation of surrogacy, and the modernization of the law on wills.

These examples illustrate how law commissions work to improve the legal system by proposing changes to existing laws or creating new ones. They are tasked with reviewing the law and making recommendations for reform, with the ultimate goal of improving the administration of justice.

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

I got waitlisted at an in-state school above both medians. The whole idea was that it's a cheaper, accessible option than my sole A. This cycle is brutal.
