A quick definition of forcible:

Term: FORCIBLE

Definition: Forcible means using force or threats of force to make someone do something they don't want to do. It can also mean physically touching or interfering with someone or their property without permission. Even walking on someone else's land without permission is considered forcible and can be against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Effected by force or threat of force against opposition or resistance.

For example, in the law of trespass, the term "forcible" is used to describe any act of physical interference with the person or property of another. This includes laying a finger on someone without lawful justification, walking across someone's land without permission, or breaking into someone's house with force. All of these actions are considered forcible and can be considered a trespass.

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)
