A quick definition of deputy sheriff:

A deputy sheriff is a person who helps the sheriff with their duties. The sheriff is the main person in charge of keeping the peace in a county and making sure people follow the law. The deputy sheriff can do many of the same things as the sheriff, like arresting people who break the law and keeping people safe. Sometimes people use the word "undersheriff" to mean the same thing as "deputy sheriff." In Scotland, a sheriff is a judge who makes decisions about legal problems in their county.

A more thorough explanation:

A deputy sheriff is an officer who works under the direction of a sheriff and performs most of the duties of the sheriff's office. They are appointed for a special occasion or purpose, and may act as custodian of the county jail, execute civil and criminal process, and carry out judicial mandates within the county.

For example, if the sheriff is unavailable or needs assistance, the deputy sheriff can step in and perform their duties. They may also be responsible for patrolling the county, responding to emergency calls, and investigating crimes.

In some jurisdictions, the term undersheriff is used interchangeably with deputy sheriff. However, some writers distinguish between the two, suggesting that an undersheriff is a permanent position while a deputy is appointed for a specific purpose.

Overall, the role of a deputy sheriff is to assist the sheriff in maintaining law and order within the county and ensuring the safety of its residents.

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
