EVERYONE at harvard graduates with honors. Grades are a joke over there.
“WHERE HE WAS HOUSED WITH THE FOREIGN STUDENTS.”
Yes, but it he was placed there occidentally.
You owe the oracle whitened teeth.
More like “Thank the Laude!”
How about "MAGNA CUM FRAUDE" ?
The graduates of small law schools generally have higher first-time pass rates than the graduates of the larger, 'national' schools.
The smaller schools generally teach state-specific law. They teach what the law in that state IS. They frequently require that students spend time in clinics and court clerkships in which the students get first-hand experience with pleadings, discovery, and filings.
The larger, 'national' law schools teach a method of thinking. They teach how the law was developed and WHY there are different legal approaches to the same legal point in different jurisdictions. They are taught to differentiate and to argue public policy and reasons why existing law should or shouldn't be applied in a particular case.
If you want someone to pass the bar in State "X" and immediately to know how to file a pleading in State "X", then you're better off with a graduate of a smaller law school in State "X". However, that student has issues if he or she goes to another state at the beginning of his or her legal career.
If you want someone to argue legal theories and to try and convince an appellate judge that existing law should be changed, and you're looking for someone right out of law school, then you're better off with a graduate of a major 'national' law school. And the national law school graduates can go to virtually any state except Louisiana and take the bar exam.
Those Harvard students aren't learning Massachusetts law. They're learning legal theories and policies behind applying or changing laws. The Suffolk Law students are learning Massachusetts law, for the most part.
Yes he did.
I read it on the Internet.

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - PRIME MINISTER of St. Kitts-Nevis Dr. the Hon. Denzil Douglas has been reported to the US State Department for allegedly fraudulent statements regarding the graduating class of US President Barack Hussein Obama. At a press conference held yesterday (Mar. 25) at the People’s Action Movement’s (PAM) Secretariat Office on Church Street, Political Leader of the party Lindsay Grant said that Douglas had blatantly lied about the PAM Leader graduating from the same Harvard Law School class as Obama. “On Sunday night the behaviour of Denzil Douglas at one of his party’s political meetings left much to be desired and it is the type of politics we wish to get rid of. On Sunday, he told his supporters that he had gotten information from the State Department that I had not been in class or at school with President Obama,” Grant said. The claims of Douglas making the mentioned statements were later verified after SKNVibes obtained a copy of the audio from the political rally, which was held near the constituency office in Central Basseterre.. “Baby Grant, when Obama run, he said that he went to school with Obama. They were in the same class,” PM Douglas said at the rally. “Well, I asked the United States government to send me information pertaining to the graduating class of Obama. I have received a full photograph of every single graduate, with Obama circled for me by the United States government and up until now me ah look for baby Grant and me can’t find him,” he added. Douglas further stated at the rally that the caption to the photograph did not contain Grant’s name. “But that ain’t all you know, because maybe I miss him because he’s small, but I look at the legend of the photograph. Every single person in that photograph who was graduating with Obama, they name right there and me nah see none called Lindsay ‘Fitzy’ Grant up to now. Up to now me nah see nothing like that, but that is what Grant is. “Grant is a liar! He is a fraud!” Douglas exclaimed to the crowd. At the press conference, PAM distributed programmes from the June 6, 1991 Commencement Ceremony of the Harvard Law School held at Holmes Field. In the programme, Obama is listed as receiving his Juris Doctorate and Grant a Masters of Laws at the ceremony, seemingly indicating that both men had in fact attended the institution at the same time. “It is an undisputed historical fact that I share the same alma mater as US President Barack Obama, and that we went to school at Harvard at the same time,” Grant stated. In addition to discussing legal action against the Prime Minister with his attorneys, Grant said that he found it necessary to report Douglas’ remarks to the US State Department. “He told his supporters that he had gotten information from the State Department that I had not been in class or at school with President Obama. In the first case, the State Department would not give out that type of information on a sitting President to a foreign government. “Is Denzil Douglas saying that the US government breached their national security protocols? In fact I have today sent off a letter to the State Department with an audio tape and transcript indicating what the Prime Minister has said and enquiring of the breaches of protocol.” The PAM Leader stated that he would not have mentioned the issue if he did not believe it was a concern for the nation at a time when serious issues such as crime and the economy should be discussed at political rallies. “The record shows that we did graduate together in 1991. The question that I put to the people is this: if Denzil Douglas could tell such a blatant lie on such a factual situation, and on a simple matter, what else is he capable of lying to the public about?” Grant asked.

Obama was President of the Law Review, not Editor. Law Review President is an elected position, not necessarily correlated with class rank and/or grades. So it's more like being elected King or Queen of the Prom than making class Valedictorian.
I think it was momma come, lawdy, lawdy.
In dozens of interviews, his [Obama’s] friends said they could not remember his specific views from that era, beyond a general emphasis on diversity and social and economic justice.
Rrrrrrriiiiiiggggghhhhhtttttt!
In the essay he wrote to get on the law review, it could have been filled with stuff about his Indonesian, Kenyan black, oppressed life, and that might have been what got him on, not his skill at legal analysis. Which would make sense, when you read the things he has written--like the Columbia anti-nuke article. He is a crappy writer.
Bottom line is, there is a lot of conjecture, but no real evidence one way or the other how he got on law review. The story of how he got to be in charge is pretty well documented. What his grades at Harvard were has never been provided.
Look at all the things about Clinton that were overlooked - credible accusations of multiple rapes, credible evidence of real estate profiteering (seemingly a Democrat favorite), and even his brother on tape buying cocaine and saying, “Give me some for my brother, too. He has a nose like a vacuum cleaner.”
If you are a Marxists the MSM will see that you skate.
He was President of Harvard Law Review, quite a different thing.
In those days, and still, I imagine, the essay parts of the test are hand written. It would be a simple matter to match the handwriting. Of course, the test probably no longer exists. I doubt the bar examiners keep those things more than a year or two. But you never know.
It is interesting that at that link they go into detail about Obama’s childhood, including the supposed date and place of his birth, but they don’t do that about any other president they describe.
I don’t think we have to question the parentage of those other presidents.
Also interesting that every liberals favorite icon, F.D.R. was only a ‘C’ student.
Did Obama really graduate from Harvard?
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 yet. . .and yet, his bio says he graduated from high school with academic honors! Surely you don’t think his bio has been fudged?
No, I think it was Magna Cum Fraud.
