In today’s mail, I received a promotional postcard (part of the genre known as “law porn”) announcing that the University of Hawaii School of Law “Welcomes 2011 Jurist-in-Residence U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Anthony Alito, Jr., January 24-28, 2011.”
I suppose that I’m meant to be impressed that Justice Alito is visiting the law school. Duly noted. I can’t imagine ANY reason other than the quality of faculty, students, staff, and alumni, why Justice Alito would take time from his busy schedule to visit the University of Hawaii in January.
