A quick definition of a me de superiore meo:

Term: A ME DE SUPERIORE MEO

Definition: A phrase used in feudal land grants that meant "from me, of my superior." This phrase indicated that the grantee would hold the land from the grantor's superior once the feudal title was completed.

Basically, it was a way of saying that the person receiving the land would be holding it on behalf of someone even higher up in the feudal system.

A more thorough explanation:

A ME DE SUPERIORE MEO

A ME DE SUPERIORE MEO is a Latin term used in feudal land grants. It means "from me, of my superior." When a feudal title was completed, the grantee would hold the land of the grantor's superior.

For example, if Lord A granted land to Sir B, and Lord A held the land from King C, then Sir B would hold the land from Lord A, who held it from King C. In this case, Sir B would be the grantee, Lord A would be the grantor, and King C would be the superior.

Another example would be if a king granted land to a duke, who then granted land to a baron. The baron would hold the land from the duke, who held it from the king. In this case, the duke would be the grantor, and the king would be the superior.

These examples illustrate how the phrase "a me de superiore meo" was used to establish the chain of feudal ownership and ensure that the grantee held the land from the ultimate superior.

I would say to be careful with trying so hard to get a job at a firm. These schools are trying so hard to be diverse that they'd rather pick someone who works in Cheesecake factory as a 'chef' than someone who is ina firm

@NosyBeagle: obi try ur best, but realize LSAT score is correlated with law school grades, however not a sole determinate factor in success in law careers (what a cope, t161, but some truth lmao)

Also, from someone who waited until APRIL for a 161 instead of sending apps completed in fall at 155, I really shot myself in the foot. SO DO NOT DO WHAT I DID

Nosy, good thinking. I also have a spreadsheet to be a bit more realistic. I have like their LSAT/GPA compared to mine
