A quick definition of laet:

Term: LAET

Definition: In history, a laet (pronounced "layt") was a person who belonged to a social class that was between being a slave and being free. They had more rights and freedoms than slaves, but they were not completely free like other people.

A more thorough explanation:

LAET

A laet (layt) is a person who belongs to a social class between servile and free in historical times.

In medieval England, laets were people who were not slaves but were not completely free either. They were tied to the land they worked on and had to pay rent to their lord. They were not allowed to leave the land without permission and had to work for their lord for a certain number of days each year.

Another example of a laet is a tenant farmer in feudal Japan. They were not slaves, but they were not free either. They had to work on the land they rented from their lord and had to give a portion of their crops as rent.

The examples illustrate the definition of a laet by showing that they were a social class that was not completely free but also not slaves. They were tied to the land they worked on and had to pay rent or give a portion of their crops to their lord. They had some rights, but they were limited compared to free people.

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
