disseisin

Read a random definition: admensuratio

A quick definition of disseisin:

Disseisin: When someone takes away something that belongs to you, like your land or property, without your permission, it's called disseisin. This is also known as dispossession. There are different types of disseisin, like disseisin by election, which is when you claim someone took your property even if it's not true, and fresh disseisin, which is when you have the right to forcefully take back your property without going to court if it happened recently.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Disseisin (also spelled disseizin) is the act of wrongfully depriving someone of their ownership or possession of property, also known as dispossession.

Examples:

  • Disseisin by election: This is a legal fiction where a property owner can claim that they have been disseised, even if it's not true, in order to have a remedy against an adverse claimant.
  • Equitable disseisin: This is the wrongful deprivation of the equitable ownership, possession, or the fruits of ownership or possession.
  • Fresh disseisin: This is the right at common law of a person who has been disseised of land to forcefully eject the disseisor from the land without resorting to law, as long as the ejection occurred soon after the disseisin.

For example, if someone wrongfully takes possession of your land, you have been disseised. You can then use the legal fiction of disseisin by election to claim that you have been disseised, even if it's not true, in order to have a remedy against the adverse claimant. Equitable disseisin can occur when someone wrongfully takes the fruits of your ownership or possession, such as rent or crops. Fresh disseisin allows you to forcefully eject the disseisor from the land without resorting to law, as long as you do it soon after the disseisin.

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
