LAL #030 — Elite Law School Student Interview: 1L via Zoom and the 2020 Assembly Line of Justice

My second long-form interview guest for Law and Legitimacy is a law student. We'll call him 'Student X'.  Some say lawyers are born and not made. I'm not so sure about that. Lawyering is hard work; it takes training to earn the right to stand in the law's trenches. In this interview, we'll discuss what it's like to be a law student. Student X is a rising 2L at an elite law school, by which I mean a school that requires impossibly good grades to even be considered for admission. This young man just completed his first year. He will describe what he learned. Why Student X? These are tough times on law school campuses; indeed, they are tough times on campuses in general. A growing intolerance for all by the politically correct forms of speech makes it perilous to speak one's mind. Offend the wrong person or group and one just might get cancelled. I am aware of one recent law school graduate who had to appear before his school's "honor" committee on multiple occasions for impolitic speech. We've disguised Student X's voice and done what we can to make sure the hounds of unctuousness can't identify him in this interview. You might be surprised by what's going on in law schools these days. Did a majority of this young man's classmates really refuse to ratify the Constitution in a mock ratification vote? If so, what are these would-be Solons doing in law school? Enjoy. Have an interview guest in mind? Email me at [email protected] with "Law and Legitimacy" in the subject line.
