aes alienum

Read a random definition: secta ad molendinum

A quick definition of aes alienum:

AES ALIENUM: In ancient Rome, when someone borrowed money from another person, they had to pay it back. The money that was borrowed is called aes alienum, which means "another's money" in Latin. It's like when you borrow a toy from a friend and you have to give it back when you're done playing with it.

A more thorough explanation:

AES ALIENUM

AES ALIENUM is a Latin term that means "another's money". In Roman law, it refers to money that is borrowed and owed to someone else.

For example, if you borrow $100 from your friend, that $100 is considered AES ALIENUM because it is not your own money. You are obligated to pay back the $100 to your friend.

Another example is if a company takes out a loan from a bank. The money that the company receives is AES ALIENUM because it belongs to the bank and the company is responsible for paying it back with interest.

The examples illustrate the definition of AES ALIENUM by showing situations where money is borrowed and owed to someone else. In both cases, the borrower is responsible for returning the money to the lender. This is an important concept in Roman law and is still relevant today in modern financial transactions.

No, at least from the two people I know there that’s false. I think it’s just something like Chicago for conservatives is on par with S whereas for liberals it’s below HYS but above CCNP

I mean I think even the student body there only like 15 percent is part of fedsoc
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)

@texaslawhopefully: it's pretty funny how even in law journal articles people can't stop confusing Penn with Penn State
