inmate

Read a random definition: face of policy

A quick definition of inmate:

Term: Inmate

Definition: An inmate is a person who is locked up in a prison, hospital, or other institution. It can also mean someone who lives with others in a dwelling.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A person who is confined in a prison, hospital, or other institution. It can also refer to a person who lives with others in a dwelling.

Examples:

  • John is an inmate at the state prison.
  • The hospital has many inmates who are receiving treatment.
  • Back in the 1800s, it was common for families to have many inmates living in one house.

The first two examples illustrate the modern definition of an inmate, where a person is confined to a specific location, such as a prison or hospital. The third example is an archaic use of the term, where it refers to a person living with others in a dwelling.

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)

Chicago/UVA are more to the right but not by an exceedingly large difference

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