Thanks for posting this! Great story.

She was from the Bronx. Nuff said.

He only invited her to future interviews so if she chose to legally act, there would be no evidence of harm.

Me and the other 40+ students

Yale Law...so often the problem and not the solution.

He handwaved that away. "I don't know about all that EEOC stuff". As an interviewer, he bloody well should have, of course. He was reported to the placement office, which banned him. Not sure if any action was ever taken against the employer.

Imagine being the dipshit who fumbled the hiring of a future Supreme Court Justice. I'm sure he managed to fail up, though.

I don’t see how you can ask someone if they’ve been “culturally deprived” without it being pretty intentional discrimination.

I looked up the crusty old guy who asked her the questions and he was, by my rough calculations, all of, uh, 38 at the time.

Consistent courage!

It’s a time capsule.

Folks we gotta be opening links

"...like wall posters in Peking." Way to slime the students

During two separate firm callback interviews I was asked about my wife’s ethnicity and my religious beliefs. One of the firms apologized profusely (via phone call from the managing partner) when I called them out on it. The other…didn’t care.

Honestly quite surprising that she was able to achieve success in the legal industry after doing this publicly, instead of being shunned as a “troublemaker”
