A quick definition of clemency:

Term: Clemency

Definition: Clemency is when the President of the United States or a state governor decides to be kind and merciful to a criminal. They can either forgive the criminal completely or make their punishment less severe. The word "clemency" means being nice and forgiving instead of being harsh and punishing.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Clemency is the power of the President of the United States or a state governor to pardon a criminal or to commute a sentence. The term itself means "leniency" or "mercy." For example, if someone is sentenced to life in prison, the governor may use their power of clemency to reduce the sentence to 20 years.

Clemency is a way for the government to show mercy to those who have been convicted of a crime. It allows for sentences to be reduced or even eliminated in certain cases. This power is often used in cases where the punishment may be too severe or where there are extenuating circumstances that warrant a second chance.

I know Hillsdale College has a reputation for being strange but I attended a cool religious law even there so would it be hurt me to put it in a statement given their rep? I don't want them to think I'm from the stone age :c

@GodsPlanUltimately: I would love to go to a Catholic based school and if you are looking for a religious based school as well, its helpful! I actually love Hillsdale but I am from the west coast and did not even know it existed until I met my bf

@misoissocute: I agree :) I'm actually are at a Jesuit Catholic school for undergrad and was invited to attend the event by a mentor in my program (I'm actually a theology and religious studies student). We have an early grand program so I'm not applying to a religious law school but I am trying to go to one that still values that perspective. :) It is a very secluded school though! :D lol

Yeah, it would but eventually you gotta give it up to do something good in life. What I was talking about yesterday with the Japanese movie about how the guy can't ever actually just turn on the gas and do something amazing.
