no-contact order

Read a random definition: labor theory

A quick definition of no-contact order:

A no-contact order is a rule that says two people cannot talk to each other or be near each other. It is also called a stay-away order.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A no-contact order is a legal order that prohibits a person from contacting or communicating with another person. This order is usually issued by a court to protect the victim from further harm or harassment.

Example: If a person is accused of domestic violence, the court may issue a no-contact order to prevent the accused from contacting the victim. This means that the accused cannot call, text, email, or visit the victim in person. Violating a no-contact order can result in serious consequences, including arrest and imprisonment.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a no-contact order can be used to protect a victim of domestic violence. By prohibiting the accused from contacting the victim, the order helps to prevent further harm or harassment. It also gives the victim a sense of safety and security, knowing that the accused cannot approach or communicate with them.

Tell us what's important to you
i dont interact with any fedsoc people, but i dont know any maga people at cornell. but the student body overwhelmingly leans left, so i think they might not be comfortable showing that theyre conservative if that makes sense?
one time a guy kind of crashed out about masks in conlaw
but that's the most ive seen

Yeah, that does make sense. I would like to join fedsoc, but I'm also, clearly, very opposed to Trump and where the GOP has gone.
if you join fedsoc and go for clerking and eventually become a judge. you will be pinholed into maga politics as long as maga is the predominant conservative stance
Idk if @irishdinosaur is online but congrats on UCLA!!
next you will say you want to be the first black kkk grand wizard
@SaddestPortlander: tysm!!!!

yes congrats irishdinosaur! that's incredible

@IrishDinosaur: you inspire me and my completely misguided cope that I might ever get into UCLA
Super big congrats irish!!!
Also pretty much agree with Wasp. I think it’s more about getting the political/judicial position as a Fedsoc member that will likely require a stance siding with whatever the conservative majority party is at that time.

Yeah, that's fair. I guess I need to think about it more assuming I start law school in the fall. I really want to clerk and that seems like the best option.
BUT i think once you get the position, you’ll have more leeway in making decisions more liberally. Sort of like how ACB and Gorsuch sometimes swing left after being portreayed in the media as far right (not sure if that was actually the case though).
From the perspective of someone who interned at the White House, I will add that my bosses always told me to “be careful about my resume.” Don’t want to align with any org that doesn’t fit your values because you won’t be trusted by the other side until you show them you’re legit again, and word travels in DC.

I mean I highly highly doubt I'll become a federal judge, it's more just about getting a leg up in getting opportunities in the first place
Not sure how that true that is in practice and sorry for the long messages💀

And, yeah, that's fair. Right now my resume probably looks like it's from someone who is center-right
Honestly, it just depends on your values. If you ever see yourself being a dem member in any capacity, then MAYBE stay away. But like you just said, there’s a possibility to look moderate with the right WE post law school.

Yeah, that's true as well. As a side note, it's very cool you interned with the white house, I know those internships are incredibly hard to get

A lot of conservativism right now is also just be as aggressive and unwilling to compromise in decision making right now because the left is out there in lets appeal to 1% of the population land so proposals brought to the table by them are 1, insane and 2, all or nothing proposals with no compromise.

It's a bad time to be partisan really in any way.
I had to apply 4 times and got off the WL so I barely got it. It was a cool exp but def not any work crazier than you would see on capitol hill or any political org imo.
texaslawhopefully
18:14
It def looks great on your resume though
Yeah thats why i did it😂 it was a crazy time bcuz i had to commute from 2 hrs away since i was paying rent in madison and i couldnt afford another apt in DC
Never again.
