A quick definition of lynch law:

LYNCH LAW: Lynch law is when people take the law into their own hands and punish someone for a crime they think they committed, without going through the legal system. This can include killing the person without any legal authority. It is also called Judge Lynch.

A more thorough explanation:

Lynch law refers to the act of punishing someone for a crime they are accused of without any legal authority. This punishment can include death and is carried out without a trial or any other legal process.

For example, if a group of people accuse someone of stealing, they may take matters into their own hands and decide to punish the accused person by lynching them. This is a form of vigilante justice and is illegal.

The term "Judge Lynch" is sometimes used to personify this type of punishment.

Lyndhurst's Act was an English statute passed in 1835 that made marriages within certain degrees of kinship null and void. This means that if two people were related within a certain degree, their marriage would not be recognized as legal.

For example, if a brother and sister were to get married, their marriage would not be recognized under Lyndhurst's Act.

The act was named after Lord Lyndhurst, who was the Lord Chancellor of England at the time.

I've been out of school for a long time and I'm scared I won't remember how to be a student, or that I'm too used to sleeping full 8-hour nights

I'm hoping so, especially with such a large 1L class
I've never been a study group guy in my whole life. Seems like that's the default in law school, though. Idk it's more than a year away for me so I shouldn't even be thinking about this sort of minutia, but like I wonder if study groups are actually tangibly helpful in law school? I bet that majorly depends on who is in your study group, but then they form at the beginning of the year before anybody knows eachother, and momentum just keeps them going even if they aren't great
Nah, the cliques start forming at asd
First round draft picks
Then later ones are lower draft picks
So everyone gets kinda the same peer group in relation to academic ability

I haven’t been much of a group study person either in my educational career. If you’re living on campus it won’t be too bad ; I think it mainly becomes an issue for those who live off campus or commute far
