A quick definition of pure plea:

A pure plea is when someone accused of a crime says "guilty," "not guilty," or "no contest" in court. It's their formal response to the charges. A guilty plea means they admit to doing the crime, while a not guilty plea means they deny it. A no contest plea means they don't admit guilt, but they won't fight the charges. Sometimes, a plea is part of a deal with the prosecutor.

A more thorough explanation:

A pure plea is a formal response made by an accused person in court to a criminal charge. It can be a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest.

For example, if someone is accused of stealing, they can make a pure plea of not guilty, which means they deny committing the crime and the prosecution must prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Another example is a guilty plea, which is an admission of having committed the charged offense. This type of plea is usually part of a plea bargain, where the defendant agrees to plead guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence or other concessions.

A pure plea can also be a military law term, where it refers to a plea that is entered knowingly, intelligently, and consciously, and is legally and factually consistent and accurate.

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)
