Earl Marshal of England

Read a random definition: calendar year accounting period

A quick definition of Earl Marshal of England:

The Earl Marshal of England is a very important person who used to have power over many courts, including ones that dealt with chivalry and honor. They were also a judge in a court called the Marshalsea court, which doesn't exist anymore. The Earl Marshal is part of the herald's office, which is also known as the college of arms. This office has been around for a very long time and has been passed down through one family since 1672. Sometimes people call the Earl Marshal just "Earl Marshal." An earl's penny is a type of money that used to be given as part of a payment, and it's also called an earles-penny.

A more thorough explanation:

The Earl Marshal of England is a high-ranking official who historically had authority over several courts, including the court of chivalry and the court of honor. This office is quite old and has been hereditary in the family of Howards, Dukes of Norfolk since 1672. The Earl Marshal was also a judge of the Marshalsea court, which no longer exists. The herald's office, or college of arms, falls under the jurisdiction of the Earl Marshal.

When a nobleman was accused of breaking the rules of chivalry, the case would be brought before the court of chivalry, which was presided over by the Earl Marshal of England. The Earl Marshal would also oversee the herald's office, which was responsible for granting coats of arms and other heraldic symbols.

Another example of the Earl Marshal's authority was the earl's penny, which was a small amount of money given as part payment or earnest. This payment was often made to the Earl Marshal as a sign of loyalty or fealty to the crown.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?
