Statute of York

Read a random definition: substantial-step test

A quick definition of Statute of York:

The Statute of York was a law made in England during the reign of Edward II. It had rules about lawyers, people who give evidence in court, and how to do investigations. It was made in York and is sometimes called the York Statute.

A more thorough explanation:

The Statute of York was an English law passed in the twelfth year of Edward II's reign. It was passed in York and included provisions on attorneys, witnesses, and the taking of inquests by nisi prius.

One provision of the Statute of York required that attorneys be "honest and learned in the law." This meant that lawyers had to be knowledgeable and trustworthy in their dealings with clients.

Another provision dealt with the taking of inquests by nisi prius. This meant that a judge could hear evidence and make a decision without a jury. This was often used in cases where a jury could not be assembled or where a quick decision was needed.

These examples illustrate how the Statute of York helped to regulate the legal system in England. By setting standards for attorneys and providing a way for judges to make decisions quickly, the law helped to ensure that justice was served fairly and efficiently.

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
