A quick definition of Court of Private Land Claims:

The Court of Private Land Claims was a special court that existed from 1891 to 1895. It had the power to hear cases where people claimed ownership of land in the southwestern part of the United States. This land had originally been owned by Spain or Mexico, and then became part of the United States. The court was set up to help people who had a legal right to the land, but were having trouble proving it.

A more thorough explanation:

The Court of Private Land Claims was a federal court that existed from 1891 to 1895. It had the power to hear claims made by private parties regarding public-domain land located in the southwestern part of the United States. These claims were based on Spanish or Mexican grants.

For example, if a person believed that they had a legal right to a piece of land that was originally granted by the Spanish government, they could bring their claim to the Court of Private Land Claims. The court would then review the evidence and make a decision about who had the legal right to the land.

Another example would be if a group of people believed that they had a legal right to a large area of land that had been granted by the Mexican government. They could bring their claim to the Court of Private Land Claims, and the court would decide whether or not their claim was valid.

These examples illustrate how the Court of Private Land Claims had the power to settle disputes over land ownership in the southwestern United States.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
