A quick definition of aristodemocracy:

Aristodemocracy: A type of government where power is shared between the nobility (or the more powerful group) and the rest of the people. It is a mix of democracy and aristocracy.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Aristodemocracy is a type of government that combines both democratic and aristocratic elements. In this form of government, power is shared between the nobility or the more powerful group and the rest of the people.

Example: The ancient Greek city-state of Athens is an example of an aristodemocracy. In Athens, the nobility or the aristocrats held significant power, but the common people also had a say in the government through the democratic institutions such as the Assembly and the Council of 500.

Explanation: In Athens, the aristocrats were the wealthy and influential citizens who held important positions in the government. However, the common people also had a voice in the government through the democratic institutions. This sharing of power between the aristocrats and the common people is an example of an aristodemocracy.

@LawOfAchilles: i think, if the CoA is similar, it depends maybe on where you want to practice? If you want to end up practicing in Omaha, maybe Iowa is better?

esp with the scholarship!!
I don't really know where I want to end up practicing yet, but I've enjoyed living in the midwest so far. I think I might ultimately like to end up as in-house corporate for the work life balance.

I lived in Bloomington for a long time, can't speak to the law school but can answer Qs about the city if you'd like
@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: How do you think it is to live in as a 20-something going to grad school? The comparison is Iowa city, so not an extremely high bar for liveliness. (No offense intended towards IC. I think it's a lovely place)

If you're outdoorsy, it's nice--obv no coasts or mountains, but two small lakes really close, lots of places you can go on a lowkey hike or camp without paying park fees or anything really

@LawOfAchilles: if you like the outdoors, you're gonna love bloomington.
both uiowa and iu have a good reputation, especially with midwestern law firms. their alumni resources are pretty top notch too.
