Term: BACULUS

Definition: A long stick or staff that was used in the past to represent the giving of land that had not been developed yet. It was a symbol of ownership. Sometimes called a "festuca".

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A baculus is a historical term for a rod or staff that was used to symbolize the conveyance of unimproved land. It was often used in legal ceremonies such as the Livery of Seisin.

Example: In medieval England, when a lord granted land to a tenant, he would give him a clod of earth and a twig or baculus to symbolize the transfer of ownership.

Explanation: The baculus was a physical representation of the land being transferred from one owner to another. It was a way to make the transfer official and to ensure that everyone present understood what was happening. By giving the tenant a clod of earth and a baculus, the lord was conveying the message that the land was now the tenant's to cultivate and improve.

Additional Example: During the Middle Ages, the use of a baculus was also common in religious ceremonies. Bishops and other church officials would carry a baculus as a symbol of their authority and power.

Explanation: The baculus was a symbol of authority and power, and it was often used by religious leaders to show their status within the church hierarchy. By carrying a baculus, a bishop or other church official was demonstrating that they had the right to make decisions and to lead their congregation.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
