J. Christian Adams and Hans von Spakovsky: Yale Law Isn't Teaching the Law Anymore, Only Hardcore Leftwing Political Activism

Everything woke turns to sh*t, as a man once said.

Note: This is the first in a ten-part series at PJ Media examining what our nation's top ten law schools are teaching. Hans von Spakovsky and I will undertake a deep dive into what is being taught in America's top ten-ranked law schools.
Elite law schools have become training academies not so much for effective and competent lawyers, but instead for militant transformational radicals with a law degree.
Mainstream consumers of legal services, otherwise known as paying clients, would be shocked by the evolution that has taken place in the nation's elite law schools. Instead of producing lawyers capable of helping clients, these schools now turn out leftist activists who are most competent at using transformational designs to upend centuries of legal traditions and institutions, including, ultimately, the U.S. Constitution itself.

...
The next generation of lawyers at these schools isn't focused on learning contracts, torts, civil procedure, and evidence as much as they are learning how to destroy treasured American institutions such as tolerance, liberty, and free speech.
This is important. Too many Americans still think a law degree from Harvard means that the graduating lawyer is competent to practice law. The opposite is becoming more true.
Harvard, Yale, and the elite law schools are graduating increasing percentages of incompetent lawyers, at least when it comes to what lawyers have long done: practice law.
Graduates from the elite law schools are mighty good activists, but lawyers? Not so much. The law students shouting down free speech at Stanford today are the leftist activists of tomorrow.

It may be that clients would be better off hiring lawyers from a Southeastern Conference law school like University of Tennessee, University of Alabama, or a more mainstream program like Pitt, Arizona, or Miami.
...
Hans von Spakovsky and I will march through the top ten rankings by U.S. News and World Report and share with you what is taking place inside these law schools. The militancy and uselessness of the curriculum may astound many of you. Others, like the leftists who dominate law school professors, may cheer "Bravo!" at a transformational job well done.
But regular American citizens have seen their values and treasured American liberties threatened and eroded by chanting mobs at Stanford assailing an esteemed federal judge. We are losing the ability to freely speak at college, and the right to freely exercise our religion.
This assault on American values, constitutional liberties, and our treasured limits on government power almost always starts with a lawyer, somewhere. And the lawyers from elite law schools are leading this assault.
Let's explore what students at these schools are being taught. Strap in.
Our first stop is in New Haven, Connecticut. Yale sits atop the U.S. News and World Report as the nation's top-ranked law school. What a shame, then, to see the radical leftist courses being taught at Yale. Here are a few examples.
What better place to start than with abortion? Despite significant pro-life legal victories in courts, I could find no courses dedicated to litigating for pro-life causes. Of course, the opposite was true at Yale.
The Advanced Reproductive Rights and Justice Project is taught by Priscilla Smith, who heads Yale's "Program for the Study of Reproductive Justice." We could find no pro-life counterpart. The course description offers Yale students work experience in a legal area where:

Established doctrine is under siege. Students advocate for reproductive health care providers and their patients, learning the vital importance of client confidentiality, as well as the impact of political movement strategy and management of press and public messaging.
For litigation matters, students work in small teams representing reproductive health care providers and/or patients in cases being handled by attorneys at national organizations. Projects and case assignments will vary according to the posture of the cases, but all will require top-notch legal research, analysis, and writing, as well as strategy meetings with team members. Some cases involve trial level work, including informal fact development, drafting pleadings, discovery, motion practice, and negotiations. Other matters involve appellate briefing.
Students also have an opportunity to develop non-litigation skills by undertaking non-litigation matters involving legislative and regulatory work, public education, and strategic planning, at the federal, state, and local level.
In other words, abortion activist groups directly benefit from the classwork of Yale law students.
If Yale students get shut out of classes promoting abortion, they can always take courses to help put more felons on the streets:

Challenging Mass Incarceration Clinic. In the field work, students represent clients in two types of cases: federal sentencing proceedings and Connecticut state parole hearings. Students will learn advocacy strategies aimed at mitigating or ameliorating their clients' punishment, both prospectively during sentencing and retrospectively during post-conviction proceedings.

After completing "Challenging Mass Incarceration," Yale law students are eligible to take "Advanced Challenging Mass Incarceration Clinic: Fieldwork."

I'm majoring in Defund the Police with a minor in Transgenderism. U?

The article continues examining the Yale ~~Law School's~~ Twitter Activism Preparatory School curriculum. Worth the read!

Within a couple of years people will realize these privileged but ignorant Yale Law graduates don't actually know anything about the law, and that will be a wrap for Yale Law.

I mean, for Yale Twitter Prep.

27 Law school was already a sham as it is. 3 years is totally unjustified when it could reasonably be done in 1-2 years

and of course, because you learn fuck all on what law school is supposed to prepare you for, which is you know, actually PASS THE BAR EXAM, you have to take an additional bar course layered on top of attending law school just so you have a prayer's chance of passing the bar

like the entire legal profession, law school is a scam

50 Yale Law and other "elite" law schools are transforming themselves into the American equivalent of the Higher Party School.

The Higher Party School was created in 1939 under the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It was tasked with training future leaders (known in Soviet parlance as "cadres") for Party and state positions. The purpose was to prepare them for propaganda work with the masses and for supervising managers and state officials, while ensuring their political loyalty or partynost (Party-mindedness). In 1978 it was merged with the Academy of Social Sciences, which provided more advanced training. A similar Higher School was created for the Young Communist League (Komsomol) in 1969.

Isn't USNWR evaluating schools like saying we should trust The View to evaluate... anything?

These ratings outfits - as a general rule now - are corrupted themselves either ideologically or financially. Not saying they aren't rating as they always have so, relatively, they're consistent. I'm saying that the premise that they can fairly rate anything was always an undeserved trust and that their ratings have always sucked. We were just too ignorant to the sausage-making that has always been going on.

The LSAT was a pretty good predictor of your chances of passing the bar as well, I think 150 was the bare minimum, which is why that tends to be the floor for most law schools.

For Ivy league students who have to score higher, it's already a given that you're intellectually capable of passing the bar, so that leaves plenty of room to fill your brain with the stupidest fucking woke shit on earth

I think what this actually means within a couple of years the court won't know anything about the law, and the will be a wrap for the Rule of Law.

Elite, rich people will occupy positions of power. Ivy League supremacists are woke, so you will forced to be woke, too. Either that or go to jail or be bankrupted by lawsuit.

Supposedly the bar tests filter out people who are otherwise incompetent, although I am not convinced this is true.

But these people are learning how to ruin the world but not how to win in court, and we've seen multiple examples how that plays out in the real world. They're incompetent in the courtroom.

DEVELOPING: Bomb Threats Made Against Manhattan DA, Courts & NYPD HQ As Possible Trump Indictment...

||Just as a hearing was about to commence over a $250 million lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James against Donald Trump in lower Manhattan, a bomb threat was phoned in.

The courthouse at 60 Centre Street was temporarily closed and searched, and the threat was later found to be baseless.

In September, James filed a lawsuit against Trump, his company, and three of his children, alleging that they inflated the value of his real estate company’s assets.

Similar threats were also made against other court building and the NYPD headquarters — all threats are not believed to be credible.||

In those positions they are undermining the rule of law and weaponizing it against their political opponents. Even in situations where the jury pool is poisoned, you could often count on someone with integrity to ensure the system worked. That is slowly being destroyed and it leads nowhere good. Once people don't trust the justice system they start to take matters into their own hands. The social contract and an ordered society deteriorate.

According to Wiki, "For nine months, from 1928 to 1929, Johnson paused his studies to teach Mexican–American children at the segregated Welhausen School in Cotulla, some 90 miles (140 km) south of San Antonio in La Salle County. The job helped him to save money to complete his education, and he graduated in 1930 with a Bachelor of Science degree in history and his certificate of qualification as a high school teacher. He briefly taught at Pearsall High School before taking a position as teacher of public speaking at Sam Houston High School in Houston."

". . . he had attended Georgetown University Law Center for several months. Johnson later quit his Georgetown studies after the first semester in 1934."

The entire public facing case for our involvement in Ukraine is that Russia will march across Europe if we don't fight Russia in Ukraine.

In case you were wondering how far-left extremists get paid to riot, this is one of the ways. Networks of far-left legal groups file frivolous lawsuits to get easy cash settlements from Democrat cities. The money is used to fund & support their operations to keep the racket going. The other goal is to punish police departments for trying to stop left-wing riots. In some cities, like Portland & Seattle, police just stopped responding to BLM-Antifa rioting altogether.

______________

Apart from the depression point, this is not true. The Nazis first gained traction because of the Versailles Treaty, but came to prominence because of communist agitation. Few people now know that the communists had already seized in Berlin and Munich in 1919, and were bidding fair to do so again ca. 1930, with street riots and attacks on all the other political parties. People needed only to look eastward to see what a communist takeover would be like, and the Nazis were the only party who could fight the KPD in the streets (the original purpose of the SA). So the choices were the Reds, or the Nazis.

Unfortunately, many of his compatriots do not share his impressive capacity for not following through on such a threat and will fulfill his mission.

In the Philippines, it's a thing to walk the entire length of the march. Many try. Few finish.

The nazis had a large presence in the Bundestag prior to the depression, but never had controlling power. Only after the election during the first part of the Great Depression did they win enough seats to control a coalition. Only after death of Hindenburg and Hitler taking the position of supreme leader did the nazis gain complete control over Germany.

Yup. The American Left was fond enough of National Socialism, but they always saw it as the weak, halfway measure that should have been proper internationalist communism. The Nazis and the Italian and Spanish fascists were getting shit done but they did it with a mongrel philosophy. The American Left was happy to support it regardless, since it even that mongrel form of socialism was better than no socialism at all.

But once he turned on the USSR, he became the primary enemy of the American Left. The mongrel species turned on the purebloods. It had to be stopped.
