Does this mean we can't trust him to get down and dirty enough when the otherside starts?

1. "where he spent at least 50 hours a week"

I don't get it. How can a law student study for his courses if being editor of the Law Review publication takes 50 hours a week?

2. No TV & no bars & no DU

There's plenty of time.

3. Maybe law school was easy for him.

Some people are just brainiacs like that (See Bill Clinton).

4. Editing a law review is often done for-credit

I don't know if that's the case at Harvard but I assume so. But, yeah, that time commitment is a big reason you have to be very high up in the class to get the job, so that you don't flunk out (if he was like most LR presidents, his grades did suffer that year).

To the OP's question, in law school you have to learn to objectively consider the merits of any side of an issue. It would be wonderful if lawyers only had to represent nice people with good ideas; as it stands, that's not the case.
