  The story of urlLink K.A.D. Camara , (from urlLink JD2B ). Last June, at age 19, he earned his doctorate in law magna cum laude, making him possibly the urlLink youngest graduate in Harvard Law School history: urlLink There are few people who are as well known or as widely disliked here at Harvard Law than third year student K.A.D.
Camara, also known as Kiwi. The reason for this is that in his class notes and course outlines, he uses the abbreviations "nig" and "nigs" to stand for African Americans. For instance, in writing about Shelly v. Kraemer, Camara writes: "Nigs buy land with no nig covenant; Q: Enforceable? " Yeah..he actually posted that outline to the shared database! What an arrogant, racist, stupid son of a bitch! I love it - you're doing Harvard proud K.A.D! (People like that cad = another reason I'm a proud Columbian....And I'm proud that you're not a white boy - you're a racist Filipino immigrant!
How funny! {and a ballroom dancer! }) So he didn't get an offer from his firm. I'm going to mention this guy the next time people ask me for examples in support of my theory that true gunners are often so arrogant, offensive, grating and almost Aspergerian in their cluelessness that, in spite of any impressive academic credentials they, like K.A.D., may possess, they're simply unemployable. They're impossible to work with; they don't fit in the real world socially or culturally; they will alienate all their co-workers and scare away clients!
They are hated! (Although K.A.D. got a clerkship and will probably end up in academia or on the bench....unbelievable...) Another example: a friend of mine who is doing his BigLaw associate thing this summer just told me about one of his fellow summers who was just fired. A particularly important client was giving some sort of presentation on diversity or something, and this pedantic, arrogant little gunner decides to speak up and went off on the poor guy with an endless anti-affirmative-action tirade while partners held their heads in awkward shame. Now, I'd probably agree with the substance of this loudmouth rightwinger's anti-AA screed, and it's not like the substance of his tirade was racist, but seriously - have some fucking tact!
You deserved to get fired because you can't act like a gunner in the real world! Back in school you're allowed to stand up and force your loudmouthed, know-it-all opinion on the entire room - but you can't do it in front of the CLIENT and the entire office, you douche! You're a lowly summer - you can't continue to be a self-important, pedantic, supercilious, know-it-all little shit anymore!
PS: K.A.D. 's story also reminded me of an experience I had last semester, working on a collaborative outline with a study group for my Perspectives on Legal Thought (Legal Philsophy) class. As per usual, I had missed the first meeting of our group, so they assigned me the absolute worst topics: I, the only white boy in the group, had to prepare the section covering Critical Race Theory and Feminist Legal Theory.
I mean, that stuff is pretty retarded - these are serious academics who basically argue shit like 'all sex is rape' or 'white people are spawns of satan', so I made my outline pretty hilarious, openly mocking all of the pieces I was covering. I feared my group would be displeased, but they ended up loving it. Score!
