A quick definition of holymote:

A holymote, also known as a hallmote, is a type of court that was held in the past. It was presided over by the lord of the manor and was used to settle disputes between feudal tenants. The court was usually held in the manor's great hall. It could also be used as a commercial court for trade-guilds or as a convention of citizens in their public hall. Sometimes it is mistakenly referred to as an ecclesiastical court, but this is not correct.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Holymote is a term that is often used erroneously to refer to an ecclesiastical court. However, in its correct usage, it refers to a court baron, which is an annual court presided over by the lord of the manor to settle civil disputes between feudal tenants. The court is usually held in the manor's great hall. It can also refer to a trade-guild's commercial court, where guild members are tried for trade-related offenses against the guild. Additionally, it can refer to a convention of citizens in their public hall, also known as folkmote.

Examples:

  • A lord of a manor holds a holymote to settle a dispute between two of his tenants over land ownership.
  • A trade-guild holds a holymote to try a member who has violated the guild's rules and regulations.
  • A town council holds a holymote to discuss and make decisions on important matters affecting the community.

These examples illustrate how holymote can refer to different types of courts or conventions, depending on the context. In each case, holymote is a gathering where disputes are settled or decisions are made, either by a lord of the manor, a trade-guild, or a town council.

same outcomes, temple has better trial advocacy. nova has the most partners in BL firms in philly than any other school. But both send 20% to BL if thats ur thing. Temple is located in arguably the roughest part of philly. the campus itself is a campus, but not more than a few blocks away are some neighborhoods u dont wanna walk around in.
