A quick definition of juge:

Term: juge

Definition: A juge is a type of judge in French law. There are different types of juges, such as the juge de paix who is a lower-level judge, often dealing with police matters, and the juge d'instruction who handles criminal cases by investigating complaints, questioning people involved, and deciding on charges.

A more thorough explanation:

A juge is a person who presides over a court of law and makes decisions based on the evidence presented. In French law, a juge is a judge. There are different types of judges in the French legal system, including:

  • Juge de paix: An inferior judge who handles minor civil and criminal cases, such as traffic violations.
  • Juge d'instruction: A magistrate who conducts preliminary criminal proceedings, such as taking complaints, interrogating parties and witnesses, and formulating charges.

For example, if someone is caught speeding in France, they may appear before a juge de paix who will decide their punishment. If someone is accused of a crime, they may go before a juge d'instruction who will investigate the case and determine if there is enough evidence to proceed with a trial.

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
