Yale's hostility to free speech led more than a dozen federal judges to boycott the school for clerkship hiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaw schools used to teach students how to think critically, advance logical arguments, and respect oppo-nents. Now those students cannot tolerate disagreement and reject the validity of the law itself. And yet, rioting Ivy Leaguers are the same people who will hold impor-tant government positions, fight constitutional lawsuits, and advise Fortune 500 companies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eLawless\u003c\/em\u003e, Ilya Shapiro explains how we got here and what we can do about it. The problem is bigger than radical students and biased faculty--it's institu-tional weakness. Shapiro met the mob firsthand when he posted a controversial tweet that led to calls for his firing from Georgetown Law. A four-month investi-gation eventually cleared him on a technicality but declared that if he offended anyone in the future, he'd create a \"hostile educational environment\" and be sub-ject to the inquisition again. Not being able to do the job he was hired for, he resigned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cannot continue. In \u003cem\u003eLawless\u003c\/em\u003e, Shapiro reveals how the warping of higher ed--and especially the illib-eral takeover of legal education--is transforming our country. We're handing the reins of power to lawless radicals who will be America's future judges, prosecu-tors, politicians, and presidents. Unless we stop it now, the consequences will be with us for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.1 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 14, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52714639688013,"sku":"9780063336582","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/5VaT6224pV9780063336582.webp?v=1762395630","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/lawless-the-miseducation-of-americas-elites-hardcover","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
