A quick definition of filiusfamilias:

A filiusfamilias is a term used in Roman law to describe a son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter who is not yet considered an adult and is still under the authority of their father or grandfather. They are also known as homo alieni juris. Every Roman citizen is either a paterfamilias (an adult who is free from paternal power) or a filiusfamilias (a child who is still under the authority of their father or grandfather).

A more thorough explanation:

A filiusfamilias is an unemancipated son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter in Roman law.

Lucius is a filiusfamilias because he is still under the power of his father.
Julia is a filiusfamilias because she is not yet married and is still under the power of her father.

These examples illustrate that a filiusfamilias is a child or grandchild who is not yet independent and is still under the power of their father or grandfather. They have limited legal rights and cannot make decisions on their own.

@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
