Provisions of Oxford

Read a random definition: Secretary General

A quick definition of Provisions of Oxford:

The Provisions of Oxford were a set of rules created during the reign of King Henry III. They were made by a group of important people called the Mad Parliament, who met with some powerful barons a few times a year to talk about how to run the country and fix problems. The Provisions were made because the King wasn't doing what he was supposed to do according to another important document called Magna Carta. The Provisions worked well for a while, but then there was a big fight in 1263 and they stopped being used.

A more thorough explanation:

The Provisions of Oxford were a constitution created during the reign of Henry III in England. It was formed by the Mad Parliament and served as the King's advisory council. The council met with a group of barons several times a year to handle the country's affairs and resolve grievances. These grievances were often a result of the King's avoidance of his obligations under Magna Carta.

The Provisions were effective until the baron uprising in 1263 under Simon de Montfort.

One example of a grievance that the Provisions of Oxford aimed to resolve was the King's failure to uphold the rights granted to the barons under Magna Carta. The Provisions established a council that would meet with the barons to address these issues and ensure that the King fulfilled his obligations.

Another example is the establishment of a system for appointing judges. The Provisions required that judges be appointed based on their qualifications and not their political affiliations. This helped to ensure that the legal system was fair and impartial.

These examples illustrate how the Provisions of Oxford aimed to address issues of governance and ensure that the King fulfilled his obligations to the people of England.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.

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
