Wealthy decadent lowlifes try to validate their miserable existence by donating money to places that are willing to patronize them. Imagine the absurdity of naming a law school after this character.
After I was admitted to Harvard Law School, I attended orientation. Our 500-strong class was gathered in Memorial Hall, in historic Sanders Theater, where then-Dean Elena Kagan (now Supreme Court Justice) spoke to us. She informed us that the competition was over — we were in! No need to worry about the stuff we’d seen in The Paper Chase — we were all going to leave with degrees and jobs. Not just that — as graduates of Harvard Law, we were destined to rule the universe. She informed us of how many alumni were in the Senate, how many in Congress, how many on the Supreme Court. The battle was over upon our acceptance to the institution. …After reading about Ben Shapiro’s interesting experience in Harvard Law (and the little exposé into the particularly vile character of Justice Kagan), the University of Alabama’s law school in my estimation has greatly improved in reputation particularly after this move.
