Simple English definitions for legal terms

bribe-taker

Read a random definition: entrusting

A quick definition of bribe-taker:

A bribe-taker is someone who receives a bribe. This means they take money or gifts in exchange for doing something they shouldn't or for not doing something they should. It's not a good thing to be a bribe-taker because it's dishonest and can be illegal.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A bribe-taker is a person who receives a bribe.

For example, if a police officer takes money from a driver to overlook a traffic violation, the police officer is a bribe-taker. Similarly, if a government official accepts money to award a contract to a particular company, that official is also a bribe-taker.

The examples illustrate the definition because in both cases, the person is receiving money in exchange for doing something they should not be doing. This is illegal and unethical, and it undermines the integrity of the system.

Is it really like no clerkship benefit at Chicago if you’re not conservative?
lilypadfrog
20:31
that seems crazy #tome

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)

Chicago/UVA are more to the right but not by an exceedingly large difference
