Court of Orphans

Read a random definition: de jure corporation

A quick definition of Court of Orphans:

A Court of Orphans is a special court in Maryland and Pennsylvania that deals with the legal matters of children who have lost their parents. This court has the power to make decisions about who will take care of the children and manage their property. It is important because it helps protect the rights and well-being of children who are in a vulnerable situation.

A more thorough explanation:

A court in Maryland and Pennsylvania that has the power to handle legal matters related to the property and guardianship of children who have lost their parents.

A court that was commissioned by the Crown in England to hear cases of felony and treason. The judges had separate commissions for each court they presided over, and if they had a commission of gaol delivery, they could try all prisoners held in gaol for any offense. In some states, it is a court of higher criminal jurisdiction.

In Maryland, if a child's parents die and they are left with property or money, the Court of Orphans will handle the legal matters related to that property or money. This court will also appoint a guardian to take care of the child's needs.

In England, the Court of Oyer and Terminer was responsible for hearing cases of felony and treason. For example, if someone was accused of murder or plotting against the king, they would be tried in this court. The judges had limited jurisdiction and could only hear cases related to these specific crimes.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
