Here are the members of the Columbia Law Review. They asked Columbia to not require exams and give all students a passing grade, because some of them presumably decided to not attend classes to break school rules and laws, and some even decided that it was time to re-enact 1938 Germany... If you have hired or are considering hiring any of them (or see their name on a timesheet), you should prepare a few questions, and ask them to demonstrate to you live that they are capable of critical thinking and not excessively entitled. It's possible that the one you hired or are interviewing isn't responsible for the travesty of a demand that the CLR posted publicly. But considering the quality of thinking demonstrated--I literally expect better from my 9 year old--you should check for the sake of your law firm or business. ===== 2023-2024 ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD OF THE COLUMBIA LAW REVIEW: Margaret Hassel Editor-in-Chief Kristin Bergeson McCalpin Executive Managing Editor Jafar Saddiq Khalfani-Bey Executive Forum Editor Erik Ramirez Executive Articles Editor Sarah Yeoh-Wang Executive Essays Editor Luke Anderson Executive Notes Editor Emily M. Erickson Hafsah S. Hanif E. Celeste F. Kearney Christelle Lobo Kyle Oefelein Zelly Rosa Andrew Straky Managing Editors Morgan Carter Jamie Herring Godard Solomon II Forum Editors Mary Claire Bartlett Isabel Bolo Lena Chan Isaac Lunt Jackson Springer Zakiya Williams Wells Articles Editors Aniruddh Bakre Shaniqua C. Shaw Shireen Younus Essays Editors Jonathan Elliot Gliboff Jamie M. Jenkins Adrián Cabral Nava Matthew Schneider Notes Editors Ramzie Aly Fathy Symposium & Book Review Editor

I mean, honestly, I think this is fair game for total ridicule at this point. I would love to see some ambitious 0Ls or 1Ls absolutely tear Columbia Law Review to pieces for this. Are we supposed to respect the people that made this statement as our “betters” for having gone to an Ivy League? I’m having an incredibly hard time respecting them as my “peers”. For one, your fellows acting like fascists are being treated like fascists - because they are, in fact, fascists. Is the ‘rule of law’ no longer taught at Columbia Law School? I guess I’m just confused as to how any of you imagined breaking laws doesn’t result in consequences. And you expect to just all get passing grades for the semester? I’m sorry, but the utter privilege reeking from you is so off-putting. Where do any of you get the nerve to EVER claim you’re better than the rest of us? You haven’t yet demonstrated a basic understanding of how the world works. Law school “rankings” are a thing of distant past. What matters now is what you can do with what has been given you. What I know is that I’ve had a rocky few months at UNT Dallas College of Law, but I have learned in my time at the school how to be a professional in the legal field. Can the Columbia Law students who made this frankly weak and completely backwards statement say the same about theirs? I think not. And if I ever go into practice in any capacity, it would excite me to no end to end up at opposing counsel table to them. Never again is now. Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱 #fightantisemitism #neveragainisnow
