A quick definition of Coventry Act:

Coventry Act: The Coventry Act was a law made in England in 1803. It said that if someone hurt another person on purpose and cut off their limb or member, or disfigured them by cutting off their nose, lip, or ear, they could be punished by death. This law was made because before this, hurting someone in this way was not considered a serious crime. The law was named after Sir John Coventry, who was attacked and had his nose cut off by people who were angry with him for something he said in Parliament.

A more thorough explanation:

The Coventry Act is an English law that was passed in 1803. It made it a crime punishable by death to intentionally maim or disfigure someone by cutting off or disabling their limbs, tongue, nose, or other body parts.

Before the Coventry Act, injuring someone in this way was not considered a serious crime because it did not result in permanent disability. However, the act was passed after an incident where Sir John Coventry was attacked and had his nose slit in revenge for something he said in Parliament.

For example, if someone intentionally cuts off another person's arm with the intention of maiming or disfiguring them, they could be charged with a crime under the Coventry Act.

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
