A quick definition of bargain purchase:

Term: Bargain Purchase

Definition: A bargain purchase is when someone buys something for less than what it is worth. This can happen when someone is selling something quickly or needs money fast. However, if the item is sold for less than its fair market value, the difference between the sale price and the fair market value must be taken into account for tax purposes. If the sale is between family members, it may also have gift-tax consequences.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A bargain purchase is a sale of property for less than its fair market value. This is also known as a bargain sale. When a property is sold for less than its fair market value, the difference between the sale price and the fair market value must be taken into account for tax purposes. If the sale is between family members, it may lead to gift-tax consequences.

  • John sold his car to his brother for $5,000, even though the car's fair market value was $8,000. This is a bargain purchase.
  • Susan donated her artwork to a charity for $2,000, even though the artwork's fair market value was $5,000. This is also a bargain purchase.

These examples illustrate how a property can be sold for less than its fair market value, resulting in a bargain purchase. In both cases, the sale price was lower than the fair market value, which means that the seller did not receive the full value of the property. This can have tax implications, especially if the sale is between family members or involves a donation to a charity.

Is it really like no clerkship benefit at Chicago if you’re not conservative?

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
