Read a random definition: prescriptive right

A quick definition of demesne land:

Demesne land is a type of land that was reserved by a lord for their own personal use. It is a part of the earth's surface that includes everything growing on it and everything above and below it. Land can also be owned by the government, either acquired from private hands or obtained through public domain. There are different types of land, such as arable land for cultivation, mineral land for mining, and swamp and overflowed land that requires reclamation. Tideland is land that is affected by the tides, while made land is artificially formed through filling or dredging.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Demesne land refers to land that is reserved by a lord for personal use. In modern times, it is used to refer to land belonging to the sovereign or government, as distinguished from land held under private ownership.

Examples:

  • In medieval times, demesne land was reserved by lords for their own use, such as for hunting or farming.
  • In England and Canada, Crown land refers to demesne land of the Crown, which is land belonging to the sovereign personally or to the government.
  • In modern times, demesne land can refer to land owned by the government, such as public parks or military bases.

Explanation: Demesne land is a term that has evolved over time, but it generally refers to land that is reserved for a specific purpose. In medieval times, lords would reserve land for their own use, while in modern times, governments may reserve land for public use or military purposes. The examples illustrate how the term has been used throughout history and how it is still relevant today.

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
