Term: Feoffment with Livery of Seisin

Definition: Feoffment with livery of seisin is a historical legal term that refers to the act of transferring ownership of land from one person to another. It was a formal ceremony where the parties involved would enter the land, and the person transferring the ownership (feoffor) would give possession of the land to the new owner (feoffee) through a symbolic act or words. Feoffment was the only way to transfer ownership of land in the past, and the land transferred was called the feoffment.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Feoffment with livery of seisin is the act of conveying a freehold estate, which is a grant of land in fee simple. It is also known as a deed of feoffment. The feoffment involves the transfer of land, the land itself, and the charter that transfers the land.

Example: In the past, conveyances of freehold land could only be made by a feoffment with livery of seisin. This was a solemn ceremony where the parties entered the land, and the feoffor delivered the seisin to the feoffee either by handing them a twig or sod of earth or by uttering some words such as "Enter into this land and God give you joy" and leaving them in possession of the land.

Explanation: Feoffment with livery of seisin was a formal and symbolic act of transferring land ownership. The feoffor would physically hand over a piece of the land to the feoffee, which was a symbolic act of transferring ownership. This act was witnessed by others, and the feoffee was left in possession of the land. This process was used in the past to transfer ownership of freehold land.

Thoughts on Indiana Maurer vs Iowa Law? Cost would be very similar for me
Well I was gonna tell you stuff about Iowa but you're already a resident so I think you are well in the know'
Actually, I would love some Iowa/Iowa City tips! I am a resident, but I really live in Omaha. I moved across the river specifically for the in statue tuition a while back.

What kinda law you wanna do? Maurer has a great cyber program
I'm really not sure. My background is corp procurement. I don't want to do family law, and I think I want to stay away from criminal.
11:46
I would probably do Indiana given your scholly amounts
11:49
Indiana has good fed gov placements if that’s your vibe

ty!! i got $$.5 so it was a no brainer
@LawOfAchilles: i think, if the CoA is similar, it depends maybe on where you want to practice? If you want to end up practicing in Omaha, maybe Iowa is better?

Whenever someone mentions Fordham I can only think of Whiplash

esp with the scholarship!!
I don't really know where I want to end up practicing yet, but I've enjoyed living in the midwest so far. I think I might ultimately like to end up as in-house corporate for the work life balance.

I lived in Bloomington for a long time, can't speak to the law school but can answer Qs about the city if you'd like
@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: How do you think it is to live in as a 20-something going to grad school? The comparison is Iowa city, so not an extremely high bar for liveliness. (No offense intended towards IC. I think it's a lovely place)
