A quick definition of noxa:

Term: NOXA

Definition: Noxa is a Latin word that means "injury". In Roman law, it referred to harm done to a person or property, especially by a slave or son. This led to the concept of noxal liability, where the father or owner had to pay for damages caused by their son, slave, or animal. Noxa can also refer to any offense or harmful effect on the body.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Noxa (nok-sə) is a Latin term that means "injury." It has several meanings:

  1. In Roman law, it refers to harm done or an offense committed, such as injury to a person or property, especially by a slave or son. This gave rise to noxal liability, which means the obligation to pay for damage committed by a son, slave, or animal. For example, if a slave caused damage to someone's property, the owner of the slave would have to pay for the damage or surrender the slave to the injured party.
  2. It can also refer to an offense in general.
  3. It can refer to the punishment for an offense.
  4. It can refer to something that exerts a harmful effect on the body.

For example, if someone is exposed to toxic chemicals, those chemicals can be considered a noxa because they can harm the body.

The examples illustrate how the term "noxa" can have different meanings depending on the context. In Roman law, it referred to a specific type of liability for harm caused by a slave or son. In general usage, it can refer to any offense or harm, as well as the punishment for that offense. It can also refer to something that causes harm to the body, such as a toxic substance.

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: Out of curiosity, since you're in law school and prolly know fedsoc people, how conservative do you think you have to be to be in fedsoc? Like is a david french sort of conservative fairly common in it, or is it the maga type people mainly
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
18:03
@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💀
texaslawhopefully
18:10
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.
texaslawhopefully
18:12
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
