[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what happens when you hire people with this amazing pedigree.  Have you even heard of these schools?

Pam Bondi: Stetson Law
Lindsey Halligan: U of Miami Law
Ed Martin: St. Louis University Law
Kash Patel: Pace Law

Separately I have to point out the Schiff whistleblower’s amazing education.  I guess Shasta College was too challenging to finish: Chris Bish earned a high school diploma from Enterprise High School and attended Shasta College. [/quote]

They are all awful, obviously, but f right off with your elitist nonsense. (And reflect on Larry summers in the Epstein files as well as Trump and all of his idiot spawn being Penn graduates.) [/quote]

Agreed! I've heard of all of these schools. Plenty of incompetent idiots have graduated from Ivy leagues schools based on what I see in DC and NY everyday.[/quote]

Truly, Harvard Law seems to have done to the most damage overall.  And Yale a close second. [/quote]

Nobody is saying that elite schools give any character advantage, of course they don’t.

But generally speaking the elite schools enroll and graduate people of higher intelligence and ability.

Not always, as in the case of the Trumps and Penn - certainly many of those legacy admissions are not really qualified to be there.

And certainty you can get the occasional very sharp graduate of a mediocre law program because they couldn’t afford anyplace else, or they had test anxiety on the LSAT but are really very bright otherwise.

But generally speaking the sharpest tools go to the best schools.[/quote]

That's a huge overstatement. There are more extrememly bright people than there are spots reserved for actual bright people in those few schools. You seem to start from the assumption that all bright people will aim for the highest "ranked" schools, but they don't always make that choice. That's not how most people actually operate in this world. Sometimes they have better reasons than "prestige" for the choices they make. So, you end up having the brightest minds from various places attending their local schools in part because they intend to stay local, somtimes it's because they got more money to go somewhere else, sometimes they didn't even apply to the "top" ranked options because they didn't want to go there at all, even with stellar applications.

It really isn't surprising to see a fair number of terrible people with no scruples coming out of some of these schools becuase too many of them went into these schools with the desire for prestige -- not a good frame of mind or starting point for anyone who intends to do good things for the world as opposed to being in it for themselves and their own reputations and egos. This isn't everyone, of course, but too many are given the benefit of the doubt due to this pedigree.[/quote]
