A quick definition of rules of navigation:

Rules of Navigation: These are the guidelines that tell people how to steer and sail boats so they don't crash into each other. There are different rules for sailing on the open sea and for sailing on rivers and lakes. These rules are important to keep everyone safe while they're out on the water.

A more thorough explanation:

Rules of navigation refer to the principles and regulations that govern the steering and sailing of vessels to avoid collisions. These rules are a part of maritime law and are essential for the safety of ships and their crew.

Examples of rules of navigation include:

  • The International Rules governing conduct on the high seas
  • The Inland Rules governing navigation on the inland waters of the United States and U.S. vessels on the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes

The International Rules are followed by all vessels on the high seas and include guidelines for navigation, communication, and safety. The Inland Rules apply to vessels operating on the inland waters of the United States and the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes. These rules cover topics such as speed limits, right-of-way, and navigation lights.

By following these rules, ships can avoid collisions and ensure the safety of their crew and cargo. Failure to follow these rules can result in fines, legal action, and even loss of life.

esp with the scholarship!!
I don't really know where I want to end up practicing yet, but I've enjoyed living in the midwest so far. I think I might ultimately like to end up as in-house corporate for the work life balance.

I lived in Bloomington for a long time, can't speak to the law school but can answer Qs about the city if you'd like
@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: How do you think it is to live in as a 20-something going to grad school? The comparison is Iowa city, so not an extremely high bar for liveliness. (No offense intended towards IC. I think it's a lovely place)

If you're outdoorsy, it's nice--obv no coasts or mountains, but two small lakes really close, lots of places you can go on a lowkey hike or camp without paying park fees or anything really
