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

<p>My second long-form interview guest for Law and Legitimacy is a law student. We'll call him 'Student X'. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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?</p> <p>Enjoy.</p> <p>Have an interview guest in mind?
