A quick definition of frank ferm:

Term: Frank Ferm

Definition: Frank Ferm is a type of land ownership where the owner pays a yearly fee for certain services instead of providing military service. It used to be a type of knight's service, but the nature of the fee changed over time.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Frank Ferm is a type of estate in land that was held in socage. It was created when the nature of the fee was changed from knight's service by enfeoffment for certain yearly services. It is also spelled as frank-ferme.

John inherited a piece of land from his father, who held it in frank ferm. This meant that John had to pay certain yearly services to the lord of the manor in exchange for the right to use the land.

Another example of frank ferm is when a tenant holds a piece of land from a lord and pays rent in exchange for the right to use the land.

I'm assuming then for status checking eventually that the school emails you that information once LSAC finishes processing?

Yep

Does the CAS Report send once the school requests it or do I have to send it ?
babycat

It sends automatically

Why only one app?

I'm in a dual degree program that my undergraduate has where if you meet a gpa and percentile you can have your senior year be your L1 ! Cuts off a year of time and money and the partner was my top pick for law anyways. It all just worked out and since it's ED can't really apply anywhere else because the L1 transfers back to complete my degree. :)

God my mouth is burning so much
@babycat: A few things. I mean, for one, this is my fifth year of undergrad (graduating with a dual BA/MA), so I don't think academically I'm incredibly behind or anything. Beyond, that I've explored other fields, and for the very niche area of public interest work I am interested in, law is the only way I can make a substantiative difference so why not start now.
And also my other options just are not great. I could take a shit paying job at a think tank, I was offered a job at, but I don’t find the work interesting. Or I could continue in academia, getting a phd, but again just not especially interested in academic philosophy.
I would say more, but I am very close to doxxing myself if I haven’t already.

5th year at 19. That is amazing.

So you started when you were 14. Wow.

I tried to find you but if still in school, other names pop up first. Do you drink alcohol? If not, you should start drinking to catch up to me. @texas
I started at 15
turning 20 this year
or well very beginning of next year

My best advice is to start learning wine and cocktails asap. Take the introductory and certified sommelier exam as soon as you hit 21.
Dkk
1:16
I could not find you with that information. You are still probably pretty safe. Though I did not use all my search engines or filters.
@Dkk: That is good. Granted I don't think being doxxed would be the end of the world, but who knows.
And, yeah, I have drinken a little bit over the last couple of years (what college student hasn't), but not a massive fan
Dkk

That is cus college people drink like idiots. I was not a fan at my first college and I did not start drinking until I was 22.5. The art of Sommelier stuff though is less about drinking and more about thought process. Kind of a puzzle like a logic game. Same with cocktails. You will love it if you hate college type drinking.

It's something to do outside of the things you mentioned, it is useful for networking, and it will help you in law school. It will help you find exactly what you want to do in law school.
