Golly, Andy, I knew the people on the Harvard Law Review when I was a student at Harvard Law School, and I don't know that I would describe more than one or two as conservative, let alone a "generous mix" — and that one or two was only conservative in the context of the Harvard Law School prevailing ethos, which is to say, somewhat to the right of of hard left.

Certainly there are intelligent discussions of moral choices to be had. This wasn't one of them. It was stunningly sophomoric.

You are a fool. This article was a clarion call for us to consider the decisions we make and how they reflect our values. I thought the article was quite relevant as well because as lawyers we are frequently faced with these moral choices given our knowledge and skills and how we make decisions about our career these kind of choices are very real. Obviously you have something against 'lefties' at the Harvard Law School – of course you would be ignoring the fact that the law review always has a generous mix of conservative student editors. I found it refreshing that such a prestigious and respected publication such as the Harvard Law Review would go out on a limb and publish a non-scholarly but eminently relevant piece such as this one.

"The note’s author shrewdly avoids discussing whether his or her parents weighed Harvard tuition against the interests of starving children."

The last paragraph of that student note made me laugh out loud. Is it common practice to use italics for emphasis in legal essays?
