Harvard Law School changed its law review membership criteria several years before President Obama attended to allow some members to write/or be elected on to the law review rather than only getting on through grades as in the past.

Right on, that is what McCain should have done when he was running.

You are obviously much more competent than the McSellOut.

His name and any honors given would show up in the program they hand out at graduation.

There were probably 2000 or more printed for his grad, maybe you can find one.

What year does he claim he graduated?

They have locked down every single clue pertaining to his education. Supposedly, he was the Editor of the Harvard Law Review, but not one single article or opinion by him has ever been published. We know less about this guy than any President in the history of the Republic, and he has an Army of lawyers making sure we don’t find out anything.

“He was at Harvard Law School, and did make the law review, which roughly correlates to top 10%, same as magna, so it appears that yes, he did. For whatever that’s worth.”

I don’t know - seems he couldn’t be bothered to actually write a single word for the Law Review, so it may be that his MCL was similarly devoid of any real effort.

Wouldn’t it be listed on Harvad’s website? Class of 19xx & all of the students who graduated with honors that year? Suma cum Laude, Magna cum Laude, etc.

however, in anonymity, I’d say those same “other factors” would also mean he probably got very good grades. Who’s gonna give a “D” to him? John Houseman?

The CW is that his Columbia records are sealed because he applied as a foreign student.

Either he lied about that and should not have been admitted or he told the truth and is ineligible to be POTUS.

[Obama] did not reveived any prestigious job offers upon graduation.

FWIW, graduates of Suffolk (Close Cover Before Striking) Law are more likely to pass the Mass. Bar Exam on their first try than graduates of Haavaad Lore. They do not teach Law at Harvard Law. The poor kids have to go to a cram school over a deli at night to pass the bar exam. HL is too busy indoctrinating them with a bunch of left wing nonsense. People get hired out of HL because of the astronomical LSAT scores it takes to get in.

He was voted president of Law review, a honorary title, not Editor, which is predicated on brains and ability.

OK who was the editor at the time, would he not have some interesting info? I am not savy enough to figure this out but someone here might be. Also staff everybody keeps personal records

best regards

He might have interesting info, but he probably also is waiting for the president to appoint him to the federal bench for life.

There is no evidence that Barry attended Harvard let alone graduate.

Wrong.

They changed the rules and requirements - specifically to get more “diversity”.

Knowing what we know about Barry’s ethics , intelligence and work habits
and what we don’t know about his past-
I’ve wondered if he actually took the Illinois Bar Exam.
Obviously someone named Barack Hussein Obama took it,
but, was it Barry ?

The guy is so incredibly lazy, pathologically lazy
I can’t see him cramming for a licensing exam.
He wrote in Dreams about his mother yelling at him for being lazy ,
hanging out with drug dealers and
having terrible grades his senior year of high school .
And not applying to any colleges.
And he mocked her.
His history of mind numbing drug use which is still unexplored and we have no evidence that he has ever stopped using drugs.

No evidence of any real job-a short stint ( allegedly ) scooping ice cream in high school,
years spent wandering around the inner city with a bullhorn
and when he did land a job at a law firm,
he spent his days with his feet on the desk
pretending to write a book on civil rights.
Which irked a lot of his fellow lawyers.

” Allison Davis, a founding partner of the firm wrote:
Some of my partners weren’t happy with that,
Barrack sitting there with his key board on his lap and his feet up on the desk writing the book.”

He cannot take the time or has the intelligence to memorize the briefest of statements.
Off teleprompter he is an incoherent cretin.
The odds are that someone else took the exam.

“People get hired out of HL because of the astronomical LSAT scores it takes to get in.”

You mean astronomical numbers for whites and Asians. Obama entered as a black. No one has the first clue what his scores were. They could be great - or they could be crap. Based on how he acts and talks - smart people know where he stands.

We DO know that he did not graduate on Dean’s list from Columbia - as a poli sci major. For a white or Asian - this means BC at best. NEVER NEVER NEVER Hahvahd, without fantastic connections.

All you have to do is “name it and claim it” or “blab it and grab it” and that Harvard degree is yours!
