A quick definition of electio est debitoris:

Term: ELECTIO EST DEBITORIS

Definition: In Scots law, electio est debitoris means that the debtor has the choice. This means that if there are different ways to fulfill an obligation, the debtor can choose the method of payment. It is the opposite of electio est creditoris, which means that the creditor has the choice.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Electio est debitoris (i-lek-shee-oh est deb-i-tor-is) is a Latin term used in Scots law. It means that the debtor has the choice or election. If the law provides different ways to fulfill an obligation, the debtor can choose the method of payment.

Example: Let's say John owes $100 to his creditor. The law allows him to pay the debt in cash or by transferring the ownership of his car to the creditor. In this case, electio est debitoris means that John has the right to choose how he wants to pay the debt. He can either give $100 in cash or transfer the ownership of his car to the creditor.

Explanation: The example illustrates how electio est debitoris works in practice. The debtor has the right to choose the method of payment that suits him best. This principle ensures that the debtor is not forced to use a payment method that may be inconvenient or disadvantageous to him.

Is it really like no clerkship benefit at Chicago if you’re not conservative?

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
