A quick definition of jus banci:

Term: JUS BANCI

Definition: Jus banci is a Latin term that means "right of bench." In the past, only the king's judges had the privilege of sitting on an elevated and separate seat of judgment, which was known as "high justice."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Jus banci (pronounced "jus ban-see") is a Latin term used in law that means "right of bench." It refers to the privilege of having an elevated and separate seat of judgment, which was once only allowed to the king's judges. This privilege was associated with administering what was then called "high justice."

One example of jus banci is the elevated seat that judges sit on in a courtroom. This seat is higher than the other seats in the room, which gives the judge a better view of the proceedings and emphasizes their authority.

Another example is the historical practice of only allowing the king's judges to have an elevated seat of judgment. This privilege was associated with administering "high justice," which meant that they had the power to make decisions about serious crimes like murder and treason.

These examples illustrate the concept of jus banci by showing how it relates to the physical space of a courtroom and the historical power dynamics of the legal system. The elevated seat of the judge is a tangible representation of their authority, while the historical context shows how this authority was once limited to a select few.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
