A quick definition of carcer:

Term: carcer

Definition: Carcer is a word that comes from Latin and means "jail" or "prison". In history, it was used to refer to a place where people were held while waiting for their trial or punishment, rather than a place where they were punished. The word carcer is where we get the modern term "incarceration".

A more thorough explanation:

A carcer is a type of prison or jail that is used to detain people rather than punish them. The word comes from Latin and was used in both English and Roman law.

  • When someone is arrested and awaiting trial, they may be held in a carcer until their court date.
  • If a person has been sentenced to death, they may be held in a carcer until the execution.

These examples show how a carcer is used as a place of detention rather than punishment. It is a temporary holding place for people who are awaiting trial or execution.

The word "incarceration" comes from carcer, which is still used today to refer to prisons and jails.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website

Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
