What does a Harvard 3L's racist email say about law school/legal culture?


If you haven't heard about this, well the story is in the posts. But basically, Stephanie Grace (pictured above), a Harvard 3L who's clerking for Kozinsky on the 9th Circuit next year, wrote an email idly wondering if maybe black people are genetically less intelligent than white people. She at least hasn't seen conclusive evidence that they're not... Sigh. Ok, then people like David Lat over at ATL proceed to say that all discussions should be open for rational debate, and we shouldn't overreact and try to ruin her life and such, and especially shouldn't name her. (Whoops?)
