A quick definition of Quia Emptores:

Term: Quia Emptores

Definition: Quia Emptores was a law passed in 1290 that allowed tenants to sell their land to others, but required the new owner to take on the same obligations to the lord as the previous owner. This law helped to simplify the feudal system by eliminating multiple layers of loyalty and giving more power to the Crown. It was named after the first two words of its preamble, which mean "since purchasers."

A more thorough explanation:

Quia Emptores is a Latin term that means "since purchasers". It refers to a statute that was enacted in 1290 in England. The purpose of this statute was to give fee-simple tenants the power to sell their land and bind the transferee to perform the same services for the lord as the transferor had been obliged to perform.

For example, if a tenant sold their land to someone else, the new owner would be required to perform the same duties and services for the lord as the previous owner. This helped to eliminate multiple layers of fealty and concentrate feudal lordships in the Crown.

The Quia Emptores statute was important because it prevented the growth of subinfeudation, which was a practice where tenants would divide their land and create new tenancies. This made it difficult for lords to collect their dues and services from their tenants.

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
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
it is not working
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
