Did you attend or what did you hear about this?
Worth a turn paper, IMO.
Welcome to FR. Now that you've posted about it, it's not a secret anymore. Mission Accomplished. Congratulations.
How long before the mods pull this thread in accordance with the non-disclosure agreements they have with all the secret societies out there?
Nice paper. Do you know the secret handshake?
Could be fake, a false conversation created by the newbie.
Welcome to Free Republic!
Start your own Conservative Secret Society.
Sounds like "Protocols of the Elders of New Haven".
Hmmmm, I wonder...?
[Makes a double turn of the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, down at pocket level, almost as a nervous tic...and looks to see if interlocutor has same "nervous tic"]
[He doesn't.]
Nah, those "secret society" things are just student paranoia.
I'm in a secret society at UH Law. It is comprised of chronic underachievers and all-around subpar students. We have a monopoly on not getting good jobs. We have our meetings in the parking lot, and someone has to bring Twinkies.
Some go their entire academic careers without hearing about us. We call these lost souls "Good Students." Those who do know us of live in constant fear of joining our ranks.
You have just joined the ultimate secret society.
Are they affiliated with the Skull & Boners?
That's absolutely untrue...UH Law has a good program, which many a graduate has obtained a good job...now pass a twinkie, and quit parking in my space.
I don't see any evidence suggesting that there is any sort of organized "secret society" at Yale Law. Sounds more like an informal network of people who share the same views as the majority of professors (i.e. left-leaning), and therefore get the best grades, and hence get on law review/journals, and get the best recommendations from profs. In case you haven't noticed, this is the case at virtually every U.S. post-secondary institution. If you don't toe the PC line, you'll be frozen out of the left-leaning power structure. They don't NEED a "secret society" to accomplish this, and if they do in fact have one, I doubt it provides any advantage beyond what the obviously present informal leftist network provides.
Oh, I know UH has a good program, even if the building is hideous. But there are, in fact, some bad students, of which I am one. I have no doubt that those who do well will secure great positions. I may have to end up as the next "Are you hurt? Call me today!" type of lawyers.
dont let it frustrate you....excellence is its own benchmark
