A quick definition of state law:

State law refers to the set of rules and regulations that govern a particular state. It includes the state's constitution, laws passed by the state legislature, administrative regulations, and common law. These laws are different from federal laws, which apply to the entire country. State laws can cover a wide range of topics, such as education, healthcare, and criminal justice. It is important to follow state laws to avoid legal consequences.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: State law refers to the body of laws that govern a particular state. It includes the state's constitution, statutes, regulations, and common law. This is different from federal law, which applies to the entire country.

Examples:

In California, state law requires drivers to stop at a red light and wait for it to turn green before proceeding.
In Texas, state law allows individuals to carry a concealed handgun with a permit.
In New York, state law prohibits smoking in public places like restaurants and bars.

These examples illustrate how state law can vary from state to state. Each state has its own set of laws that are enforced within its borders. These laws can cover a wide range of topics, from traffic regulations to gun control to public health.

Evidently the Ed Snowden documents, which clearly indicate the CIA shares your online discourse with American institutions of higher learning [law schools], has never met your gaze. But, as the US gov likes to put it, if you have done no wrong, you have nothing to hide!

Guys I have no idea who's thoughts were expressed above under my username, I have just taken my meds and have no recollection of posting the aforementioned Edgelord gibberish which is completely baseless and devoid of any factual premises.

@windyMagician: If you were accepted before Jan 1, 2025, then that would make sense, for it is clearly stated in their admissions policy: "abhorrent comments will be used to an applicants advantage early cycle and to the applicants detriment late cycle," where late/early cycle are footnoted to be differentiated on the first day of the new year within the cycle.

@Thespinelessspinnerspinnedspinepriortopervingpines: I am unsure what ''mewing" means without context. However, I can say that if you mean a technique that involves placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth to improve your jawline and facial structure, I can confirm you are correct, and Mewing works, for jawline is my most notable feature expressed by new acquaintances.

I wish I could, but this is the new me. After successfully building an artificial savant syndrome inducing machine [Patent Pending], I have obtained extraordinary abilities and talents in specific areas, notably written communication and understanding. I will use these newly acquired abilities to score a 180 in April. Regretfully, this trade off comes at a great cost to normies, such as yourself, who have to endure my rather mechanical expressive syntax.
