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.
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
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
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
obtained
by
the
News.
Budget
cuts?
Barring
Yale
Law’s
$1.2B
share
of
the
general
Yale
endowment
as
of
2022,
does
Yale
not
know
that
they’re
Yale?
They
have
a
vast
network
of
alumni
donors
—
they
should
only
be
a
quick
email
blast
from
getting
the
funding
they
need.
Doesn’t
even
have
to
be
the
whole
alumni
listserv
–
any
Yale
Law
graduates
that
also
enrolled
in
an
Ichthyology
course
in
undergrad
or
listened
to
the
gurgle
of
the
tank
as
they
memorized
the
mirror
image
rule
are
their
Glenngary
leads.
Sure,
maintaining
the
180
gallon
fish
tank
likely
costs
a
pretty
penny,
but
they
have
a
pool
of
alumni
that
can
buy
elections
when
they
feel
like
it.
I’d
suggest
we
pour
one
out
for
the
fish
tank,
but
that’s
kind
of
the
problem,
no?
Let’s
raise
a
glass
to
the
memories
instead.
