A quick definition of imparlance:

Imparlance is a word that was used in the past in legal cases. It means that if someone was being sued, they could ask for more time to answer the person who was suing them. This was so they could try to talk and settle the problem without going to court. Sometimes, they were given more than one chance to ask for more time. This was called an imparlance. Nowadays, this word is not used very often.

A more thorough explanation:

Imparlance is a legal term that means a request for more time to answer a legal complaint. It was used in the past to give parties time to settle their dispute before going to court. Imparlances were abolished in England in 1853.

  • If someone sues you, you can ask for an imparlance to give you more time to respond to the lawsuit.
  • In the past, parties would use imparlances to try to settle their dispute before going to court.

These examples illustrate how imparlance was used in the past to give parties more time to resolve their legal dispute before going to court.

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)
