A quick definition of pays:

Term: PAYS

Definition: Pays refers to two different things. In Law French, it means the country or a jury. In Roman law, patria means a person's home area or fatherland. It can also refer to a specific area within a country, like a county or neighborhood. In historical contexts, patria can also mean a jury, like when a defendant "puts himself upon the country."

A more thorough explanation:

Pays (pay or pays), n. [Law French] refers to the country or a jury. In Roman law, patria (pay-tree-uh or pa-tree-uh) means a person's home area or fatherland. It can also refer to the country or a specific area within it, such as a county or neighborhood. In historical context, patria can also refer to a jury, as when a defendant "puts himself upon the country" (ponit se super patriam).

  • When the defendant "puts himself upon the country," he is relying on the decision of the patria or jury.
  • The concept of patria was important in Roman law, where it referred to a person's home area or fatherland.
  • In historical context, patria could also refer to a specific area within a country, such as a county or neighborhood.

These examples illustrate how pays and patria can refer to both a country and a jury, and how patria can also refer to a person's home area or a specific area within a country.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website

Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
