A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An admanuensis (ad-man-yoo-en-sis) is a person who takes an oath by placing their hand on the Bible.

Example: In court, witnesses are often asked to swear an oath by placing their hand on the Bible and promising to tell the truth.

Explanation: The example illustrates how an admanuensis is used in a legal setting. When someone takes an oath, they are making a solemn promise to tell the truth.

It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
