A quick definition of causa data causa non secuta:

CAUSA DATA CAUSA NON SECUTA: This is a Latin term used in Roman law. It means that someone has given something in exchange for something else, but they did not receive what they were promised. For example, if someone paid for work to be done, but the work was never completed, they could use this term to try to get their money back. It's like buying a toy from a store, but the store never gives you the toy. You would want your money back, right? That's what this term is all about.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Causa data causa non secuta is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to a situation where consideration has been given, but the counterpart has not followed. It is used in cases where payment has been made for work that has not been done or a gift given in anticipation of marriage that did not happen.

Example: An example of causa data causa non secuta is when a person pays an advance for a service that is not delivered. For instance, if a person pays for a car repair service, but the mechanic does not fix the car, the person can sue the mechanic for causa data causa non secuta.

This term is related to another legal term called condictio, which is a personal action in the nature of demanding something back. Condictio is used to recover money or property that has been transferred without consideration or in contemplation of a specific event that did not occur.

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
