Above The Law
Part of learning to love your law school is learning about the little idiosyncrasies that separates it from every other law school. A few examples: Albany Law school has a basketball court in the middle of it, Harvard Law holds the record for the most graduates to serve on the Supreme Court, and the University of Florida Levin College of Law boasts a Trump appointed judge that gave a student who openly called for non-white disenfranchisement and killing Jews an A in an Originalism class(Opens in a new window). Unique distinctions aplenty!
Another aspect is a little more bittersweet — remembering the things that used to be there. If you studied in the Lillian Goldman Law Library over the last twenty years, that fish tank you remember will be no more. Yale Daily News(Opens in a new window) has coverage:
After more than 20 years, the Yale Law School library’s freshwater fish tank is about to be removed.
Law Librarian Femi Cadmus, who manages the library, announced the plans to remove the tank in an email to library staff last month, citing “immediate budget cuts” starting July 1.
“After careful deliberation with Law School Administration, the operations of the Fish Tank will cease at the end of June 2025,” Cadmus wrote in the May 23 email obtained by the News.
