[quote=Anonymous][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] This was class after class for a semester when she was a nearly 40 year old woman. It was a class of 100+ students. There were some specifically over-the-too uncomfortable incidents including her charging up to the front of the class once ripping off her sweater. Anyway, I’m not the one who characterized it as appalling and there are way more stories than this, I just didn’t feel comfortable describing rumors I didn’t witness. Appalling (or maybe outlandish?) behavior in class seems a fair description to me. I think most of my classmates would say the same.[/quote]
