A more thorough explanation:

Rei interventus

Rei interventus means "things intervening" in Latin. It refers to actions or efforts made by one party in a contract with the other party's consent. This results in partial performance by one party, and the other party cannot back out of the contract without breaking it.

Imagine you hire a contractor to build a deck on your house. The contractor starts building the deck, but then you change your mind and decide you don't want it anymore. Because the contractor has already started building, you cannot back out of the contract without breaking it. This is an example of rei interventus.

Another example is if you hire a musician to play at your wedding. The musician shows up and starts playing, but then you decide you don't like the music and want to cancel the contract. Because the musician has already started performing, you cannot cancel the contract without breaking it. This is also an example of rei interventus.

These examples illustrate how rei interventus works in a contract. Once one party has started performing, the other party cannot back out without breaking the contract. This protects both parties and ensures that contracts are fulfilled as agreed upon.

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)
