Read a random definition: sergeant-at-arms

A quick definition of National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL):

The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) is a group of people from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands who talk about which laws should be the same in all those places. They make suggestions for laws that should be the same, and then they write those laws down in a way that everyone can use them. These laws are called Uniform Acts, and they help make things fair and equal for everyone.

Here is a list of some of the Uniform Acts that the NCCUSL has written:

A more thorough explanation:

The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) is a non-profit organization made up of commissioners appointed by each state, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands. The main goal of this organization is to discuss and debate which areas of the law require uniformity among the states and territories.

To achieve this goal, the NCCUSL drafts Uniform Acts that are proposed to the various jurisdictions as either model acts or uniform acts. Model acts, such as the Model Penal Code, are suggested laws that states can choose to adopt or modify as they see fit. Uniform acts, such as the Uniform Commercial Code, are laws that are adopted by states with little or no modification, ensuring consistency across state lines.

Some examples of NCCUSL uniform acts include:

These uniform acts illustrate the NCCUSL's mission to promote consistency in the law across state lines. For example, the Uniform Commercial Code provides a standardized set of rules for commercial transactions, making it easier for businesses to operate across state lines.

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)
