[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP who went to law school with her. To be clear, Elizabeth was never particularly interested in studying the law (she got a 152 or something like that on the LSAT) - but no one at my school doubted she was extremely talented. And she wasn’t a vanity hire - David Boies was a fan of hers, from what I heard. That said, she was never going to be a partner at BSF or any other big law firm. My classmates are all very sad, she was an incredibly charismatic and magnetic figure. [/quote]

I think we must be friends w/ very different folks from our law school days. I was in her original class; she ended up a class behind because she failed a 1L class (which is virtually impossible) even though the professor bent over backwards to accommodate her. I only know one person from our class who considered her a friend or would describe her as incredibly charismatic or magnetic. She behaved appallingly in multiple classes, was generally unpleasant to be around, had perhaps the biggest ego I have ever encountered and, yes, ended up as a vanity hire at Boies... which she lasted at for like 3 years. Any time someone dies it's sad, particularly when they die young, and I actually do think she was an incredibly talented writer, but otherwise... I am very puzzled by your depiction of our classmates.[/quote]

How does one behave appallingly in a law school class? [/quote]

Different law school classmate of hers here. In one class I was in, she blatantly/inappropriately flirted with a professor going through marital issues that were well known at the school/in the press some. It was really uncomfortable. The professor basically asked her to stop on his socially awkward law geek kind of way and she just wouldn’t let up.[/quote]
