diligent inquiry

Read a random definition: biweekly mortgage

A quick definition of diligent inquiry:

Diligent inquiry means carefully and honestly investigating to find out the truth about something. It's like being a detective and asking lots of questions to make sure you have all the facts before making a decision or coming to a conclusion.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Diligent inquiry refers to a thorough and honest investigation to determine the truth of something.

Example 1: A journalist conducting diligent inquiry would interview multiple sources and fact-check their information before publishing a news story.

Example 2: A lawyer performing diligent inquiry would gather all relevant evidence and examine it carefully to build a strong case for their client.

These examples illustrate how diligent inquiry involves taking the time to gather and analyze information in a careful and honest manner. It requires a commitment to seeking the truth and avoiding any biases or preconceptions that could lead to inaccurate conclusions.

Is it really like no clerkship benefit at Chicago if you’re not conservative?
lilypadfrog
20:31
that seems crazy #tome

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)

@texaslawhopefully: it's pretty funny how even in law journal articles people can't stop confusing Penn with Penn State
