A quick definition of de identitate nominis:

Term: DE IDENTITATE NOMINIS

Definition: De identitate nominis is a legal term that refers to a writ used in the past to free a person who was mistakenly arrested and imprisoned because they shared the same name with someone else. This writ was used to prove that the person in question was not the same as the one who committed the crime and to secure their release from custody.

A more thorough explanation:

De identitate nominis is a Latin term used in law that means "of identity of name." It refers to a writ that is used to free a person who has been mistakenly arrested and imprisoned because they share the same name as someone else who is wanted by the law.

This writ is used to prove that the person who has been arrested is not the same person who is wanted by the law, and therefore should be released from custody.

For example, if there are two people with the same name, and one of them is wanted by the law, the other person may be mistakenly arrested and imprisoned because they share the same name. In this case, the person who has been wrongly arrested can use the writ of de identitate nominis to prove that they are not the same person who is wanted by the law, and should be released from custody.

Another example would be if a person is mistakenly arrested and imprisoned because their name is similar to the name of someone who is wanted by the law. In this case, the person who has been wrongly arrested can use the writ of de identitate nominis to prove that they are not the same person who is wanted by the law, and should be released from custody.

These examples illustrate how the writ of de identitate nominis is used to free a person who has been mistakenly arrested and imprisoned because of a mistaken identity.

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)
