A quick definition of malicious accusation:

A malicious accusation is when someone accuses another person of doing something wrong on purpose and without any evidence to support their claim. This is different from a formal accusation, which is made in a court of law and has evidence to back it up. Malicious accusations can be harmful and hurtful to the person being accused, and can even lead to legal consequences for the accuser if they are found to be lying.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A false accusation made against someone with the intention of causing harm or damage, and without any evidence to support it.

A malicious accusation can be a formal charge of criminal wrongdoing or an informal statement that someone has engaged in an illegal or immoral act. It is made with an improper purpose and without probable cause.

For example, if someone accuses their coworker of stealing from the company without any evidence, and with the intention of getting them fired, it would be considered a malicious accusation.

Another example would be if someone accuses their ex-partner of abuse in order to gain an advantage in a custody battle, even though there is no evidence to support the claim.

These examples illustrate how a malicious accusation can cause harm to someone's reputation and livelihood, and can have serious consequences for the accused.

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)
