A quick definition of packing:

Term: PACKING

Definition: Packing is a way that some people try to make sure that a certain group of people don't have as much power in politics. They do this by putting as many of those people as possible into just a few voting districts, so that they don't have as much influence in other districts. This is not fair and is sometimes done to make sure that one group has more power than others.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Packing is a political strategy used to minimize the representation of a minority group by concentrating them into as few districts as possible. This is done by a dominant political or racial group to gain an advantage in elections.

For example, if a city has a large Hispanic population, the dominant political group may draw district lines so that most of the Hispanic population is concentrated in one or two districts. This makes it more difficult for the Hispanic population to elect representatives who will advocate for their interests.

Another example is when a racial group is concentrated in a specific area, and the dominant political group draws district lines to include that area in a larger district with a majority of a different racial group. This dilutes the voting power of the concentrated racial group.

These examples illustrate how packing can be used to manipulate election outcomes and limit the representation of minority groups.

Chicago is at 25 percent. It’s just such a massive difference I don’t think it’s worth it to go elsewhere besides HYSC and maybe UVA
That makes sense. Was looking into Cornell clerking stats https://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/careers/judicial-clerkships/
U kno even tho their circuit numbers don't compare to other schools, those #s are better than expected tbh
40-50 fed clerks is pretty cool
texaslawhopefully
20:29
That’s fair. Chicago though: https://www.law.uchicago.edu/clerkships
That's sweet. Again tho, unclear with Fedsoc tho. But u sounded like ur willing to go Fedsoc so ur set
lilypadfrog
