I had a professor with a law degree who would tell us about law school. He couldn't get his exams delayed even with documented proof a parent died. I guess he should have told them he witnessed a racist event.
One day these kids will enter the Real World, and boy are they in for a surprise when the Real World doesn't give a shit what they think.
- My parents' generation, to the same sorts of activists from my generation 20 years ago.
What happens when the now law students are in positions of power in the law schools? Or in charge of the purse strings which decide which law schools get how much in donations?
But the "real world" does give a shit what they think. Hence the problem. Fantasy has become reality, borne on the backs of money printing, taxation of the silent middle class, and social engineering of the technocrati.
There was at least one substack article from earlier this year saying that all the law students at the Ivy League schools were running the asylums.
Using Antifa tactics to shout down speakers from the Federalist society on campus. Campus police refusing to protect people threatened and people having to wait out the mob by hiding in a supply closet.
Anonymous quotes that partners at top law firms will only hire Ivy League graduates , but then instantly become afraid of their own junior hires whom they allow to terrorize their offices and completely turn their internal culture to wokeness.
The article also talked about that controversial defendants of the Rittenhouse/ Derek Chauvin ilk, who are considered enemies of the left, were having trouble finding legal representation since these new woke junior associates lobby their firms into not accepting any clients they don't like, even simply to provide them with their legal right to a competent defense.
By the way, it should not be surprising that law schools today are fucked.
Critical Race Theory LITERALLY was created and developed by law professors.
Harvard Law purged the "crits" as they were called at the time in the 90s. It didn't last long. Today, if you are not a "crit" you are in the minority.
I believe you mean "law student". This is a change.org petition. Anyone can sign it and there's virtually no security. I'd bet these signatures are 10% sock puppets, 89% Twitter NPCs, 1% actual law students. With a 1% margin of error.
The part that scares me is all the people in this thread saying "who cares what a bunch of 20-somethings think", as though the past 50 years didn't happen and a bunch of "stupid 20-somethings" never grow up to be judges or lawyers or CEOs.
"Yeah I was stupid back then: I didn't have access to the levers of power, and even if I did I wouldn't have known how to use them to get what I wanted. Now I do"
I stopped caring about law students after "they needed have exams delayed because they were traumatized over the Trayvon Martin Murder verdict."
EDIT: Or was it Michael Brown? I'm sure you know what I'm getting at.

Doesn't mean much now. Most of these 20-somethings behave like grade schoolers.

Eventually they collapse those companies, though if there are enough of them they collapse the country instead.

I don't mean to suggest they won't get anywhere. In my opinion, the scenario you describe has mostly come to pass already.
You get attorney generals who just outright refuse to prosecute criminals based on skin color.
There is no justice in a world where such "students" are not starving and living on the streets begging for handouts.
A lot of people were raised to believe everything will go their way
I've been in law school and working in the legal field for a few years now and I can tell you this really isn't surprising.
Try not to get blackpilled thinking about how these'll be your judges in a few decades.
Hell members of the Weather Underground became professors and judges, not just their supporters.
Do they deserve to have Clarence Thomas as a professor?
You would think that they of all people would understand that certain constitutional rulings may uphold something they personally disagree with.
If some blm morons were spouting off (legitimately in a peaceful way) about systemic racism is want them to shut up but we have freedom of speech.

I found the article.
It was originally hosted on Bari Weiss' substack.
The Takeover of Americas Legal System

Something something lawyers something something ocean.
Law schools are just as pozzed, if not more so, than the rest of higher education right now.
You have students who need trigger warnings before reading cases that involve police or violence.
The Bluebook (standard law citation annual) has now required that cases that deal with slavery or slaves have to have a parenthetical so that people can be prepared for the trauma of reading about an icky subject. (https://reason.com/volokh/2021/11/21/bluebook-adopts-rule-requiring-slavery-parentheticals/)
Professors fired for bemoaning the fact that black students are struggling in law school and wondering what they can do to fix it. (https://www.foxnews.com/us/georgetown-law-fires-professor-reprehensible-statements-black-students-viral-vide0)
Professor banned from campus and suspended for, ultimately, giving a hypothetical on an exam where a person in a scenario used the "n_____" word. That's literally what he put on the hypo, "n_____". This triggered students. THANKFULLY HE IS SUING, let us hope he wins (https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/01/uic-law-prof-jason-kiborn-sues-after-university-tried-to-force-him-into-humiliating-racial-reeducation-program/)
