I am familiar with the anonymous publication of case notes. My point was to say that we have no verification, other than some political hacks, saying they saw a letter about it. If it turns out he doesn’t even have this to his credit, its all the more embarrassing and preposterous how this charlatan got as far as he did with the most prestigious law school and law review in the country. Extending your MIT analogy, it would be like he showed up wearing knickers and knee-hi’s and said “aw shucks, I don’t have nothin’, but kin I play wit you’all anyway?”
One more bit. To get on law review at any law school, you usually have to submit a thoroughly researched original legal memorandum on a topic selected by the qualifications committee. I can’t say for sure if Harvard had anything like that at the time, but isn’t there anything with his name on it that they could have dug up?
HLR already had a process in place to make certain a sufficient number of female students made it onto law review - things were not done with total anonymity.
