Read a random definition: procedendo ad judicium

A quick definition of child pornography:

Child pornography is when pictures or videos show a person under 18 years old doing sexual things. This is not allowed by the law and people who share or make these pictures or videos can get in trouble with the police. Even if the pictures or videos are not very bad, they are still not allowed. Sometimes, people make pictures or videos using computers that look like a child, but it is not a real child. This is also not allowed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Child pornography is material that depicts a person under the age of 18 engaged in sexual activity. Pornography, in general, refers to material such as writings, photographs, or movies that depict sexual activity or erotic behavior in a way that is designed to arouse sexual excitement. Pornography is protected speech under the First Amendment unless it is determined to be legally obscene. However, child pornography is not protected by the First Amendment, even if it falls short of the legal standard for obscenity. Those directly involved in its distribution can be criminally punished.

  • A photograph of a 15-year-old girl engaged in sexual activity with an adult.
  • A video of a 12-year-old boy masturbating.
  • Virtual child pornography, which includes a computer-generated image that appears to be a minor engaged in sexual activity but that in reality does not involve a person under the age of 18.

The examples illustrate that child pornography involves material that depicts minors engaged in sexual activity. It is important to note that child pornography is illegal and those involved in its distribution can face criminal charges. Virtual child pornography is also illegal, even though it does not involve a real minor.

@s95: My cousin is an immigration attorney who recently argued in front of the supreme court. He attended the University of Houston for law school. There are so many good schools for immigration law, countless clinics.

@s95: The higher the rank though basically means more opportunities possibly with a debt trade off. It's hard for me to say more without knowing your goals though. Awesome you already have an idea what you want to do as a lawyer!

17:06
I would research immigration law clinics
@s95: generally school specialties are kind of silly. it’s usually the rank of the school that determines the opportunities you can get from it across the board
with caveats for strong regional schools with a regional focus and so on
