re: #719 Occasional Reader

Not an article, a case comment. That’s the basic, anonymous “in the trenches” work that one does in one’s first year on a law review. If he hadn’t done THAT, he should have been booted off the Law Review.

An article (or, as they’re usually called when a student does them (as opposed to an outside law professor, a “note”), is different. It’s a significantly lengthier, more intensive review of a legal issue. Like I said, it’s not unheard of that the Editor-in-Chief (or President, as it’s apparently called at Harvard) doesn’t publish one, but it’s kind of unusual.

actually, i think o is also a lazy, get-by-with-the least-kind of effort slacker.
he should have been thrilled to write an article for the law review.
i don’t think he had the confidence, ability or inspiration to do it.
