continuing contract

Read a random definition: non-interest-bearing bond

A quick definition of continuing contract:

A continuing contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates obligations that can be enforced by law. It can be a written document or a verbal agreement. The term "contract" can refer to the agreement itself or the physical document that contains the agreement. A contract is a promise or set of promises that the law recognizes as a duty, and if it is broken, the law provides a remedy.

A more thorough explanation:

A continuing contract is a type of contract that is automatically renewed after its expiration date unless one of the parties involved decides to terminate it. It is a long-term agreement between two parties that is meant to last for an extended period of time.

For example, a teacher may have a continuing contract with a school district. This means that the teacher's contract is automatically renewed each year unless the school district decides to terminate it. This provides job security for the teacher and stability for the school district.

Another example of a continuing contract is a subscription service, such as a magazine or streaming service. The contract is automatically renewed each month or year unless the subscriber decides to cancel it. This provides convenience for the subscriber and a steady stream of revenue for the service provider.

In both examples, the continuing contract provides a sense of security and stability for both parties involved. It allows for long-term planning and reduces the need for constant renegotiation of terms.

@Dkk: Fair enough, but if you're using political philosophy to defend Trump, it's hard to reconcile him as a candidate with very relevant classic political theory, like Locke's individual rights and limited government as illustrated in the 2nd treatise, or the constitutional framework limiting executive power (e.g., Federalist 51). Trump's disregard for constitutional checks and populist rhetoric directly is in tension with our very foundational principles.

@texaslawhopefully: Psssh I would not use gender relations as a way to defend Trump. He does not go that route and I think literally him and everyone in their cabinet has no idea what those are. I mean, just look at how many divorces Elon and Trump have had.

Nah, I did not vote. I have never voted in my life because I have a lot of issues with it. 4 years ago my mom filled out my ballot for me because she wanted to but I do not vote.

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: Out of curiosity, since you're in law school and prolly know fedsoc people, how conservative do you think you have to be to be in fedsoc? Like is a david french sort of conservative fairly common in it, or is it the maga type people mainly
i dont interact with any fedsoc people, but i dont know any maga people at cornell. but the student body overwhelmingly leans left, so i think they might not be comfortable showing that theyre conservative if that makes sense?
one time a guy kind of crashed out about masks in conlaw
but that's the most ive seen

Yeah, that does make sense. I would like to join fedsoc, but I'm also, clearly, very opposed to Trump and where the GOP has gone.
if you join fedsoc and go for clerking and eventually become a judge. you will be pinholed into maga politics as long as maga is the predominant conservative stance
Idk if @irishdinosaur is online but congrats on UCLA!!
next you will say you want to be the first black kkk grand wizard
@SaddestPortlander: tysm!!!!

yes congrats irishdinosaur! that's incredible
18:03
@IrishDinosaur: you inspire me and my completely misguided cope that I might ever get into UCLA
Super big congrats irish!!!
Also pretty much agree with Wasp. I think it’s more about getting the political/judicial position as a Fedsoc member that will likely require a stance siding with whatever the conservative majority party is at that time.
