A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Wood-mote (wuud-moht) is an inferior forest court that has jurisdiction over trespasses of the royal forests. The court is also known as the Court of Attachments or forty-days court. The judges of this court, called verderers, meet every 40 days to hear charges made by the royal foresters. Major trespass cases are heard by the justices in eyre.

For example, if someone were caught hunting or cutting down trees in a royal forest without permission, they would be brought before the wood-mote to face charges. The verderers would hear the case and decide on a punishment, such as a fine or imprisonment.

Another example would be if a group of people were found camping in a royal forest without permission. They would also be brought before the wood-mote to face charges of trespassing.

These examples illustrate how the wood-mote was responsible for enforcing the laws and regulations of the royal forests. It was an important court in medieval England, as the forests were a valuable resource for the monarchy and were closely guarded.

@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
