You probably don’t realize it, but over 150 years after the Civil War ended and slavery was abolished, we still have “Badges and Incidents of Slavery” in our country, and we need a “Radical Vision for a Third Reconstruction.” At least, that is what you would be learning as a gullible student at the University of Pennsylvania School of Law, according to a conference held there on Feb. 17 entitled “The Unfinished Work of Abolition.”
That was one of the first things we found in our review of UPenn Law, which is next in the series that J. Christian Adams and I are writing on the “top” law schools in the country, as rated by U.S. News and World Report for the 2022-2023 school year.
We have already covered Yale, Stanford, Chicago, Columbia, and Harvard, which have become reeducation camps of the progressive Left. Unfortunately, UPenn Law is just more of the same. Its purpose these days, it seems, is indoctrinating students into rejecting the American system of jurisprudence as racist, homophobic, gender-biased, and oppressive. Just pick-your-favorite-adjective of wokeism and cancel culture.
And don’t even think about exercising your First Amendment right to speak out against the political and cultural orthodoxy of the radical Left that prevails there. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression ranks UPenn (which includes the law school) as the second worst college in the entire nation, out of over 200, when it comes to restricting the First Amendment rights of its students.
Only Columbia is worse. This apparently leads students to self-censor and not speak up because their opinions are not “deemed acceptable on campus.”

Three GG Grandfathers who fought for the Union.
One GG Uncle and one GGG Uncle who fought for the Union and died in 1864 in Virginia, one as a POW.
My reparations were paid 159 years ago.
Short answer: No they don’t.
Professors at top law schools want to be thought of as Deep Thinkers, so they don’t spend time on the routine “black letter law.”

Would it not follow then that the graduates of those schools would begin to lose in court to lawyers trained in "black letter law" ?
They cover that in the first year and then move on to theory and political stuff for the next two. After graduation, the students pay crammers to help them pass the bar exams. Afterwards, they go to work in big firms, and if they ever have to appear in court, by that time they are probably ready.
It would appear that nothing short of a radical Marxist Revolution is their ultimate goal as it is in so many other political, social, and economic institutions. This is the “fundamental transformation” of America that Obama and his Marxist minions are advancing at breakneck speed.
“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’
’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

THAT is the sort of “law” currently taught in our schools of “law”. And many of our other “schools” as well.
The end game is not pretty.
It’s a libtard scam show and they aren’t alone
My advise to first year law students - When things get difficult, just remember Sheila Jackson Lee made it through law school. It can’t be too hard.

They are right there are incidence of slavery. They are wrong on who is doing it. Pimps who are mainly black.
To study the Law is to study God as he is the Law giver.
RE: To study the Law is to study God as he is the Law giver.
That used to be the attitude of law students when the Ivies were formed centuries ago. NO MORE.
Only if the judge cared about black-letter law. Don't forget, the jury depends on the judge to tell them what the law is. Yeah, it could get reversed, but only a small number of appeals actually get heard.

No. Judges not educated in black letter law either. They are politicized
