Read a random definition: shelf offering

A quick definition of King's Court:

The King's Court, also known as Curia Regis, was the main court in early Norman England established by William the Conqueror. It was a group of advisers who traveled with the king, advising him on political matters and acting as an appellate court in important or complicated cases. Over time, the functions of the court became exclusively judicial in nature. The sessions of this court were the ancestor of the king's council which later subdivided into parliament and the privy council.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: King's Court, also known as Curia Regis, was the chief court in early Norman England established by William the Conqueror. It was a body of advisers who traveled with the king, advising him on political matters and acting as an appellate court in important or complicated cases. Over time, the functions of the Curia Regis became exclusively judicial in nature.

Examples:

  • During the reign of Henry I, the Curia Regis was sent into the counties to collect taxes and to hold pleas. They were then known as justitiarii errantes or traveling justices.
  • The sessions of the Curia Regis were not a specific court of law, but rather the descendant of the Anglo-Saxon witengemot and the ancestor of the king's council which later subdivided into parliament and the privy council.

These examples illustrate how the Curia Regis was a group of advisers who traveled with the king and acted as a court of law. They were responsible for collecting taxes and holding pleas in the counties. The sessions of the Curia Regis were not a specific court of law, but rather a precursor to the king's council, which later became parliament and the privy council.

the rigor of the T14 law schools is almost entirely the result of who they allow to attend

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

just my opinion but grade inflation is probably more of an undergrad thing since law school grades tend to be on a curve

While representing himself in court, McKinley's sentence was reduced from 100 years to 25, a sentence he served in full. While still incarcerated, he took the LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, and applied to law school - no shit, thats impressive how much he lowered his sentence being pro say
