UCLA Law School, Class of 1986

John Olin Fellow in Law & Economics:

I graduated from UCLA Law School in 1986. While there I and about twenty other students received John Olin Fellowships in Law and Economics. The Olin Foundation then proceeded to introduce us to such free-market luminaries as Robert Bork (before his failed bid for a Supreme Court seat) and Steven Breyer (before his elevation to the Supreme Court). We were invited to become members of the Federalist Society, but the people starting it were such nerds that they got no traction. We also were taught basic economic theory by UCLA Professor Armen Alchian, to whom I am indebted for his crap-cutting insistence that all economics was common sense.

Chief Comments Editor, FCLJ:

To lighten things up, I worked on the staff and then as Chief Comments Editor of The Federal Communications Law Journal. I edited a couple of articles, but what I was best at was rounding up more people to join the FCLJ - my recruiting marketing campaign got us like forty new staffers - a great thing when there’s lots of proofreading to do!

Founder, Lawpoets:

I also created a student organization called Lawpoets, a loosely-organized gang of guys and gals who weren’t wait around for the profession to crush their brains into pulp - we were going to drink and read poetry before our brains were pulped! We actually registered with Dean Barbara Koskella, so we could do bake sales and collect money for beer/poetry bashes at the law school. This put us on an equal footing with fancy lawfirms that also hosted munchies and booze events in the courtyard. We pulled off a couple of events, creating more guerrilla marketing materials up in the FCLJ office, then flooding the law school with our welcome blasphemies. Fellow UCLA 86-er Tom Brill and I started publishing “Furry Chiclets, A Lawpoets Creation
