plurium defense

Read a random definition: dum se bene gesserit

A quick definition of plurium defense:

Plurium defense is a legal term used in paternity suits. It means that the mother had other sexual partners around the time of conception, and the defendant is not the only possible father. This defense was used in the past to dismiss cases based on the mother's promiscuity. However, it is no longer widely accepted, as accurate paternity testing is now available. Access is also a term used in patents, trademarks, and copyrights, which means the right to obtain information about and inspect relevant files. Proof of access is required to prove copyright infringement, unless the two works are strikingly similar.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Plurium defense is a legal defense used in paternity suits where the mother had multiple sexual partners around the time of conception. The defense argues that the mother cannot prove that only the defendant could be the child's father. In some jurisdictions, it is also known as the exceptio plurium concubentium defense.

Examples:

  • A man is sued for child support by a woman who had multiple sexual partners around the time of conception. The man uses the plurium defense to argue that the mother cannot prove that he is the father.
  • In the past, juries or judges who believed that the mother was promiscuous would accept the plurium defense to dismiss the case.

The examples illustrate how the plurium defense is used in paternity suits to challenge the mother's claim that the defendant is the father of the child. The defense argues that the mother had multiple sexual partners, making it impossible to prove that the defendant is the father.

@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.

the 1% argument is crazy dk
Even the the wh internship is good on the resume, the legal assistant work is more practical. It was tuff to make a why law with no direct law exp

@jackfrost11770: Well, those are pretty low numbers and if we take the assumption that a lot of people are single issue voters then I think so.
