first refusal, right of

Read a random definition: tributary

A quick definition of first refusal, right of:

First Refusal, Right of: A special rule that allows someone to buy something before anyone else can. For example, if you have the right of first refusal to buy a house, and someone else offers to buy it, you can match their offer and buy the house instead. This rule helps protect your ability to buy something you really want.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The right of first refusal is a contractual agreement that gives a potential buyer the right to match the terms of a third party's higher offer. For example, if a person has the right of first refusal on a property, and someone else offers to buy it for a certain price, the person with the right of first refusal can match that offer and buy the property instead.

Example: Beth has a right of first refusal on the purchase of Sam's house. If Terry offers to buy the house for $300,000, Beth can match this offer and prevent Terry from buying it.

Explanation: This example illustrates how the right of first refusal works. Beth has the right to buy the house before anyone else, and if someone else makes an offer, she has the option to match it and buy the house instead. This gives her an advantage over other potential buyers and ensures that she has the opportunity to purchase the property if she wants to.

@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.

Yeah, that's fair. I guess I need to think about it more assuming I start law school in the fall. I really want to clerk and that seems like the best option.
BUT i think once you get the position, you’ll have more leeway in making decisions more liberally. Sort of like how ACB and Gorsuch sometimes swing left after being portreayed in the media as far right (not sure if that was actually the case though).
From the perspective of someone who interned at the White House, I will add that my bosses always told me to “be careful about my resume.” Don’t want to align with any org that doesn’t fit your values because you won’t be trusted by the other side until you show them you’re legit again, and word travels in DC.

I mean I highly highly doubt I'll become a federal judge, it's more just about getting a leg up in getting opportunities in the first place
Not sure how that true that is in practice and sorry for the long messages💀
texaslawhopefully
18:10
And, yeah, that's fair. Right now my resume probably looks like it's from someone who is center-right
Honestly, it just depends on your values. If you ever see yourself being a dem member in any capacity, then MAYBE stay away. But like you just said, there’s a possibility to look moderate with the right WE post law school.
texaslawhopefully
18:12
Yeah, that's true as well. As a side note, it's very cool you interned with the white house, I know those internships are incredibly hard to get

A lot of conservativism right now is also just be as aggressive and unwilling to compromise in decision making right now because the left is out there in lets appeal to 1% of the population land so proposals brought to the table by them are 1, insane and 2, all or nothing proposals with no compromise.

It's a bad time to be partisan really in any way.
I had to apply 4 times and got off the WL so I barely got it. It was a cool exp but def not any work crazier than you would see on capitol hill or any political org imo.

It def looks great on your resume though
