A quick definition of nominating and reducing:

Nominating and reducing: A way to choose a group of people to be on a jury in London. First, a list of people is made by the sheriff. Then, numbers are drawn from a box until there are 48 people. Each side can then remove 12 people they don't want, and the remaining 24 people become the jury panel.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Nominating and reducing is a historical method used in London to select a jury panel. It involves drawing a number for each person on a sheriff's list from a box until 48 unchallenged people are nominated. Each party then strikes 12 people, and the remaining 24 people become the panel.

Example: Let's say there is a court case in London that requires a jury panel. The sheriff's office has a list of potential jurors. To select the panel, they use the nominating and reducing method. They draw a number for each person on the list until they have 48 unchallenged people. Then, each party (the prosecution and defense) strikes 12 people from the list. The remaining 24 people become the jury panel.

This method ensures that the jury panel is selected fairly and without bias. It also allows both parties to have some say in the selection process by striking potential jurors they believe may be biased or unsuitable for the case.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
19:12
Yeah, my life really does flow in about 5 years periods.
