aid of the king

Read a random definition: common-bond doctrine

A quick definition of aid of the king:

Aid of the King: In the past, if someone who rented land from a lord couldn't pay their rent, they could ask the king for help. This was called the "aid of the king." It was a way for the tenant to get relief from having to pay rent to their landlord.

A more thorough explanation:

Aid of the King

Aid of the King is a historical term used to describe a request made by a tenant to the king for relief from another person's demand for rent.

For example, if a tenant was unable to pay rent to their landlord, they could appeal to the king for help. The tenant would make a formal request for the "aid of the king" to avoid being evicted or facing other penalties.

Another example would be if a tenant was being charged an unfair amount of rent by their landlord. The tenant could ask the king for assistance in negotiating a fair rent or for relief from the excessive charges.

The examples illustrate how the "aid of the king" was used as a legal remedy for tenants who were facing financial difficulties or unfair treatment from their landlords. By appealing to the king, tenants could receive relief from rent demands and avoid being evicted from their homes. This practice was common in medieval England and was an important way for tenants to protect their rights and interests.

@madollyy: I focus on bringing your GPA up as much as possible in the last semester because once you graduate you cannot change that. So don't study for the LSAT next semester if you think that would impair your ability to get straight A's. As for LSAT studying, I would recommend LSAT Demon (ik controversial), the Loophole, and Reading Comp Hero.

@texaslawhopefully: oh I’m not sure hahaha im just basing off of my friend who got a tutor bc she was rly struggling and it seemed like it helped her!

Yeah, that's fair! For some people it can help a lot. I'm just saying in general I don't think it is necessary unless you are trying to finetune a very specific area (or get to the high 170s because that is another thing in and of itself) OR are just terrible at the test. I tutor the test and I find that most people can improve just as much through self-study.

i think for her it was a lack of discipline more than anything else tbh. she could not get herself to meaningfully study on her own

I've finished all my major requirements, so I'm taking pretty much all electives next semester. Keeping one major specific class bc I'm majoring in it for a reason haha. But I'll be pretty free to study and try and improve my GPA. I will try self study first, see where that gets me. If that doesn't work I'll look into tutoring!

most of the stuff a tutor will teach you is stuff you can figure out yourself if you’re sufficiently motivated. if you would benefit from some support and structure tutoring can be helpful

I'm in a dual degree program that my undergraduate has where if you meet a gpa and percentile you can have your senior year be your L1 ! Cuts off a year of time and money and the partner was my top pick for law anyways. It all just worked out and since it's ED can't really apply anywhere else because the L1 transfers back to complete my degree. :)
