A quick definition of poverty:

POVERTY: Poverty is when someone doesn't have enough money or resources to live a comfortable life. This means they may not have enough food, clothing, or a safe place to live. It can also mean they don't have access to things that are important for a good life, like education or healthcare. Poverty is a big problem in many parts of the world, and people are working to find ways to help those who are struggling.

A more thorough explanation:

Poverty is a state of being extremely poor and lacking the basic necessities of life, such as food, shelter, and clothing. It can also refer to a scarcity of something desirable, such as a poverty of ideas.

  • A family living in a small, rundown apartment with no heat or running water is experiencing poverty.
  • A community with high unemployment rates and limited access to healthcare and education is also experiencing poverty.
  • A writer struggling to come up with new and original ideas may be experiencing a poverty of ideas.

These examples illustrate how poverty can manifest in different ways, from a lack of basic necessities to a lack of opportunities and resources. Poverty can have a profound impact on individuals, families, and entire communities, leading to poor health outcomes, limited educational and employment opportunities, and social isolation.

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

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)
