A quick definition of GRAND COUTUMIER DE PAYS ET DUCHÉ DE NORMANDIE:

Grand Coutumier de Pays et Duché de Normandie: A book of laws from a long time ago in the Duchy of Normandy. It tells people how they should behave and what they can and cannot do. Even though it was written a long time ago, some of its rules are still used in Jersey today.

Clameur de Haro: A special way of shouting that people in the Channel Islands use to say that someone is doing something wrong on their land. It comes from a time when the Duchy of Normandy ruled the islands. When someone shouts "Haro, Haro, Haro, a l'aide, mon prince, on me fait tort," it means that the person who is doing something wrong should stop.

A more thorough explanation:

The grand coutumier de pays et duché de Normandie is a collection of the common or customary laws of the Duchy of Normandy. It was probably compiled in the 13th century and is still the law of Jersey, except to the extent that it has been modified by later legislation and judicial decisions.

If someone wants to know the laws that were followed in the Duchy of Normandy, they can refer to the grand coutumier de pays et duché de Normandie. It is a historical document that provides insight into the legal system of that time.

The clameur de haro is an outcry recognized in the Channel Islands as a protest against trespass to land. It is a legal remnant of when the Duchy of Normandy held the islands before England took control in the 13th century. The victim's cry of haro (repeated 3 times) is popularly supposed to be an abbreviation of Ha Rollo, the first Duke of Normandy. The full cry, Haro, Haro, Haro, a l'aide, mon prince, on me fait tort, when registered at the local records office, enjoins the offender from possessing the land.

If someone is being trespassed upon, they can use the clameur de haro to protest against it. By shouting "Haro, Haro, Haro, a l'aide, mon prince, on me fait tort," they can register their complaint and prevent the offender from possessing the land. This tradition is still followed in the Channel Islands today.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
