A quick definition of statute roll:

Statute Roll: A long piece of paper or parchment where a law was written down after the king or queen approved it.

A more thorough explanation:

A statute roll is a historical document that contains a record of a statute after it has received the royal assent. It is a roll or a list of all the statutes that have been passed by the parliament and approved by the monarch.

For example, in medieval England, the statute roll was a parchment or paper roll that contained the text of all the statutes passed by the parliament. The roll was kept in the custody of the Clerk of the Parliament and was used as an official record of the laws of the land.

The statute roll was an important document because it provided a permanent record of the laws that were passed by the parliament. It was also used as a reference by judges, lawyers, and other officials who needed to know the law.

Today, the term "statute roll" is still used in some countries to refer to the official record of the laws that have been passed by the parliament or the legislature. For example, in the United States, the statute roll is called the "Statutes at Large" and is published annually.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
