A quick definition of pervise:

Term: PERVISE

Definition: Pervise is another word for parvis, which is a place where people used to go to study and debate. It was like a garden or paradise for learning. Sometimes, people would have academic exercises there, like a pretend court case.

Term: PASS

Definition: Pass can mean a few different things. It can mean to give an opinion or judgment, like a judge does in court. It can also mean to transfer something, like when someone gives you a deed to a house. Pass can also mean to approve or certify something, like when a mechanic says a car is okay to drive. Sometimes, pass means to publish or circulate something, like a fake bill. Finally, pass can mean to forgo or move beyond something, like when a court delays a case because the judge is busy with another trial.

A more thorough explanation:

Pervise is a word that means the same thing as parvis. Parvis is a historical term that refers to an academic exercise, like a moot court.

  • During their law class, the students participated in a pervise to practice their legal arguments.
  • The professor assigned a pervise as homework to help the students prepare for their final exam.

These examples illustrate how pervise is used to describe an academic exercise, specifically one that involves practicing legal arguments or preparing for an exam.

Pass can mean several things:

  1. To pronounce or render an opinion, ruling, sentence, or judgment.
  2. To transfer or be transferred.
  3. To enact a legislative bill or resolution.
  4. To approve or certify something as meeting specified requirements.
  5. To publish, transfer, or circulate something, often a forgery.
  6. To forgo or proceed beyond.
  7. To abstain.
  • The judge passed a sentence of community service on the defendant.
  • When the owner retired, he passed the business on to his son.
  • The government passed a law to increase the minimum wage.
  • The inspector passed the building as safe for occupancy.
  • The criminal was caught trying to pass a fake check at the bank.
  • The court had to pass on the case because the judge was already presiding over another trial.
  • The politician decided to pass on voting for the controversial bill.

These examples show how pass can be used in different contexts, such as legal, business, government, and personal situations. The examples also demonstrate the different meanings of pass, such as to make a decision, transfer ownership, approve something, or abstain from a decision.

Is it really like no clerkship benefit at Chicago if you’re not conservative?

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)
