A quick definition of tonsure:

Term: Tonsure

Definition: Tonsure is the act of shaving someone's head, usually a religious person like a priest or monk. It was a common practice in the past, and some people still do it today. The purpose of tonsure was to show humility and dedication to God. It was also a way to distinguish religious people from others. Some people wore special hats to cover their shaved heads, like the coifs worn by serjeants-at-law.

A more thorough explanation:

TONSURE

Tonsure is the act of shaving a person's head, usually a cleric's head. It was a common practice in the past.

1. In medieval times, monks and priests would undergo tonsure as a sign of their religious devotion.

2. Serjeants-at-law supposedly wore coifs to conceal their shaved heads.

The first example illustrates how tonsure was a common practice among religious figures in the past. The second example shows how even non-religious figures, such as Serjeants-at-law, would also undergo tonsure.

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
