A quick definition of Court for Consideration of Crown Cases Reserved:

The Court for Consideration of Crown Cases Reserved was a court that existed from 1848 to 1907. It was created to review questions of law that came up in criminal cases. After a trial, if the judge had a doubt about the law, they could ask the Court to decide if an error had been made. The Court was made up of all the judges, and five of them had to be present to make a decision. If they found that a mistake had been made, the person who was convicted would be pardoned. In 1907, the Court was abolished, and its responsibilities were given to the Court of Criminal Appeal.

A more thorough explanation:

The Court for Consideration of Crown Cases Reserved was a court established in 1848 to review questions of law arising in criminal cases. Its purpose was to decide whether an error had been committed in a trial judge's post-verdict questions of law.

For example, if a judge had doubts about the law in a criminal case, they could respite judgment or sentence and discuss the matter informally with other judges. If they thought that the prisoner had been improperly convicted, the prisoner was pardoned.

All the judges were members of this court, and five, of whom the Lord Chief Justice must be one, formed a quorum. However, the Court was abolished in 1907, and its jurisdiction was transferred to the Court of Criminal Appeal.

Overall, the Court for Consideration of Crown Cases Reserved was an important part of the English legal system, as it ensured that justice was served and that errors in criminal cases were corrected.

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)
