I know that most university students have brains like rice pudding, unencumbered as they are by any experiences with actual reality in their scholastic years — K-12 and whatever college years they’ve completed to date.
One would think that law students would be a little brighter than, say, the average Female Studies major, but that really doesn’t seem to be the case, what with law students coming out against Israel / Jews and supporting — publicly! — the amoral assholes known collectively as “Hamas”.
Let’s also keep in mind that in American law firms there is a very real chance that Jews are going to be, shall we say, very well represented as a proportion of the staffs thereof — despite the WASPy-sounding names of the firms. In other words, if a freshly-minted lawyer from, oh, Cornell or Yale is going to begin his career at, say, Debevoise & Plimpton, Kirkland & Ellis or Winston, Strawn — to name but some notables — there is a real chance that his manager is going to be someone named Hyman Goldstein, Avi Cohen or Rachel Nathan.
How is said manager going to act towards a junior associate who once went public and signed a letter / marched in a protest which supported the genocidal “From The River To The Sea” slogan? With compassion, kindness and forgiveness?
I’ll take “none of the above” for $400, Alex.
The pink-cheeked junior is going to be given megatons of overtime shitwork, the results of which will be mercilessly picked apart not only by the manager but also by partners (e.g. David Rosenblum or Myra Feldstein), resulting in terrible performance reviews and eventual termination. And their next job is going to be even worse because — incredibly — senior lawyers at different law firms know each other and often talk amongst themselves about their employees at their weekly klabejas games or golf outings.
One may say that this is unjust or whatever, but it’s what’s known as “reality” — the thing from which these precious snowflakes have been sheltered by parents and teachers for over a dozen years of their lives to date — and it’s going to bite them in the ass, painfully and repeatedly.
So then, I think these idiot students can be grateful for this development (no link because NYT fucking paywall):
Law Firms Warn Universities About Antisemitism on Campus
Two dozen major Wall Street firms sent a letter to top law schools to crack down on discrimination and harassment amid an escalation in incidents targeting Jewish students.
With universities across the United States grappling with a rise in antisemitism since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, elite law firms are putting schools on notice. In a letter to some of the nation’s top law schools obtained by DealBook, about two dozen major Wall Street firms warned that what happens on campus could have corporate consequences.
…nipping the careers of this little bunch of starry-eyed young idiots in the bud, so to speak.
The Gods Of The Copybook Headings say: “Actions have consequences, and often those consequences are unpleasant.”
As these pro-Hamas-terrorist ingenues are finding out.
As far as I’m concerned, everybody is an asshole until proven otherwise.
There are far more dangerous threats to my person and property within 50 miles of here than any rumored threats 8000 miles from here.
I say, American politicians and employees should mow their own lawns and let people in foreign lands do likewise.
IOW, mind your own fukking business.
Apparently, you didn’t bother to read the fucking post — those firms are reacting to what those terrorist-auuporting scum have done RIGHT HERE. No one is obligated to hire the little shits.
Soon many graduates will be learning to say “would you like fries with that?”
Or maybe not, seeing such low end servant jobs are being automated.
Then they might find out what manual labor really is, assuming the ditch digger union will take them. Nah. Unions have standards…
Many of these geniuses will not get offers from the high-paying firms
I’ve been a lawyer for 41 years and I can assure you that this development is a joy to witness
These precocious 3L students will gasp in horror that the hiring committee partner to whom they must sent their resumes is named Saul Levy and that Mr Levy’s office manager has been checking the social media profiles of 3L’s at the most prestigious schools
I lawyered for nearly 30 years and still socialize with those who still practice despite age.
They tell me all law firms, Jewish, Presbyterian or a mix of nobody in particular, are doing much more in the way of background checks on new hires. Much, much more.
The amusing part is they are also more or less ignoring 90% of grades because grades are 90% shit anyway, given the quality of the faculty.
Thankfully, it appears, that the Legal Profession has taken to heart the admonition “Physician, heal thyself”.
Shrug. A fool with a law degree can always find employment at State.

i heard that someone hired an advertising truck to drive around Cambridge flashing pictures of Harvard’s students who support Hamas and company. We need more of that
JQ
I have always thought that lawyers are like enemas, sometimes you just need one. Having said that, I would not hire a lawyer that graduated after December 1970. That’s when I went into the military, while these Socialists-in-training were flaunting their student deferments and running up their student loans.
It does not surprise me that so many of them support murderous anarchist assholes. Every member of Hamas is a potential undocumented immigrant and potential client. Nor does it surprise me that any prestigious law firm would strenuously avoid hiring these despicable brats who have no clue what color the sky is in the real world.
“Would you like fries with that?” No, they’ll never need to learn that, because as you say, robots will hold those fine jobs. Maybe these future unemployed law students can find jobs recovering the stolen shopping carts the street people use.
The law schools (and universities in general) have gone full woke for over a decade now, if not longer.
The “students” didn’t get their opinions and attitudes from just anywhere, they got it from their teachers who got it from their teachers when they were students at the same universities.
And those teachers in turn got it from their high school teachers, who got it from Soviet agitators presenting themselves as “peace activists” in the 1970s and ’80s (yes, it goes down that long).
There by now is no saving the education system as it’s fully and utterly compromised at ALL levels.
“…nipping the careers of this little bunch of starry-eyed young idiots in the bud, so to speak.”
Such events warm my heart, and I’m not Jewish by any stretch of the imagination.
Seems that a massive class action lawsuit is in order on behalf of the victims of these universities and their crop of Jew hating, terrorist supporting, Leftist brown shirts. Putting their multibillion dollar endowments at real risk will make real changes happen across these festering campuses.
