Keeper of the Great Seal

Read a random definition: non procedendo ad assisam

A quick definition of Keeper of the Great Seal:

Keeper of the Great Seal: An important person in England and Scotland who takes care of a special seal used to make important government documents official. In England, this job is now done by the Lord Chancellor.

A more thorough explanation:

A Keeper of the Great Seal is an important officer in England and Scotland who is responsible for keeping and using the Great Seal to authenticate important state documents. This officer is also known as the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, Lord Keeper, Keeper of the Broad Seal, or Custos Sigilli.

In England, the Lord Chancellor is currently responsible for the duties of the Keeper of the Great Seal. This means that the Lord Chancellor is the one who has custody of the Great Seal and uses it to authenticate important state documents.

For example, if the Queen of England wants to issue a royal proclamation, the Lord Chancellor would use the Great Seal to authenticate the document. This would make the proclamation an official state document that carries the weight of the government behind it.

Another example would be if the Prime Minister of Scotland wanted to issue a decree, the Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland would use the Great Seal to authenticate the document. This would make the decree an official state document that carries the weight of the Scottish government behind it.

It is shitty that was a pattern of behavior but I am glad someone is finally standing up for themselves. Like I can be a pretty rigid butthole guy when it comes to getting stuff but a complete lack of empathy or situational awareness shown by the school and their staff is mind blowing. When I was talking about it in the office they all thought I was lying cause it sounds so crazy.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?
