I wonder how many times that Columbia Law Review letter has already been circulated around influential law firms with a list of the names of the "Administrative Board of Student Editors" attached.
Those are going to be some interesting interviews.
It probably won't make much difference in the long run. The top tier law firms are addicted to Ivy Law School grads, especially the Law Review crowd. Also, they sprinkled enough "everybody is concerned about something" in their letter (i.e., "the growing distress that many of us have felt for months as the humanitarian crisis abroad continues to unfold, and as the blatant antisemitism, islamophobia, and racism on campus have escalated") to please everyone and no one, and as best as i cant tell the letter did not identify specific law review editors or staff.
Could be, but there are plenty of other Ivy Law Review editors who aren't publicly fainting from Performative PTSD, and while big law firms DO love Ivy pedigrees and pay new associates a lot of money, they also insist on getting their money's worth in work. The members of the specific group that took responsibility for that letter are probably easy to identify by name.
