Read a random definition: fair-cross-section requirement

A quick definition of liege woman:

A liege woman is a term used in history to describe a woman who owed loyalty and service to a feudal lord. This was a part of the feudal system where people were bound to their lords and had to serve them. A liege woman was a loyal subject of a monarch or sovereign and had to pay homage to them. The term "liege poustie" was used in Scots law to describe the lawful power of a person to dispose of their property. This term was used to distinguish between a conveyance that was not challengeable on the ground of death-bed and one that was.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A woman who owes feudal allegiance and service to a lord paramount.

In medieval times, people were often bound by feudal tenure to a lord paramount, meaning they owed loyalty and service to a higher-ranking lord. A liege woman was a female vassal who was bound to this feudal allegiance. She was expected to be loyal and faithful to her lord and perform any duties required of her.

Example: Lady Mary was a liege woman to Lord Robert, which meant she owed him loyalty and service in exchange for his protection and support.

This example illustrates how a woman in medieval times could be bound by feudal tenure to a lord paramount and be considered a liege woman. Lady Mary owed her loyalty and service to Lord Robert, and in return, he provided her with protection and support.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
