A quick definition of contra formam feoffmenti:

Term: Contra Formam Feoffmenti

Definition: Contra formam feoffmenti is a legal order that tells a landowner to stop asking a tenant to do more work than what is written in their agreement. It was used in the past when a person gave land to someone else and wrote down what work they had to do in return. If the landowner or their family asked the tenant to do more work than what was written, the tenant could use this order to tell them to stop.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Contra formam feoffmenti is a Latin term that means "contrary to the form of the feoffment." It refers to a writ that was used in the past to command a landowner to stop demanding more services from a tenant than those included in the tenant's deed to the land.

Example: Before the statute of quia emptores terrarum was made, a man infeoffed another by deed to do certain service. If the feoffor or his heirs distrain him to do other service than is comprised in the deed, then the tenant shall have this writ, commanding him not to distrain him to do other service than is comprised in the deed.

This means that if a landowner tries to demand more services from a tenant than what was agreed upon in the deed, the tenant can use the writ of contra formam feoffmenti to stop the landowner from doing so.

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
