A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A socman is a person who owns land through socage tenure.

Explanation: In the past, land ownership was often tied to a system of feudalism. Socage was a type of feudal land tenure where the tenant would provide a service to the lord of the manor in exchange for the right to use the land. A socman was someone who held land through this system.

Example: John inherited a small piece of land from his father, who had been a socman. John now holds the land through socage tenure, which means he must provide a service to the lord of the manor in exchange for the right to use the land.

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
