IMO, that slam is legit from the left or the right....
competency in understanding law from the bench is 'kinda' relevant.....
now the ones asking the questions most likely didn't have a clue either (until their staff pulled the final draft off the printer) so, there's the irony....

I will have to agree with you on this one once he mispronounced one of the terms when he asked one of the questions.

I was thinking, damn, I've been mispronouncing it all these years.

Quote:At Vanderbilt, he was elected president of his senior class and named to Phi Beta Kappa. After Vanderbilt, Kennedy received a J.D. degree in 1977 from the University of Virginia School of Law in Charlottesville, Virginia. At the University of Virginia School of Law, he was an executive editor of the Virginia Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif [2].
In 1979, he earned a Bachelor of Civil Law degree with first class honours from Magdalen College, Oxford in England.[3][4]

He is being appointed to the DC District Court. I believe that court's jurisdiction consists primarily of reviews of appeals of decisions by federal administrative agencies. In that role, administrative law experience would be more important than trial law experience, and he has significant administrative law experience.
I was not a trial lawyer, did transactions and administrative law, but I would have been able to answer yes to a bunch of the questions he answered no to.

Thats what I was thinking as well. He might as well have asked him about Tennessee family law.
I've refrained from commenting on most of these kind of threads because it's not likely anyone's mind ever gets changed over here, but this is first year law student stuff. Not knowing what a motion in limine is? As an attorney, these weren't crazy trick questions he was being asked. These were about as basic as basic gets.

Agreed, they seem pretty stupid mistakes. I was a transactions and administrative lawyer, so I never did some of those things, either. But I did a lot more of them than he did. Given the nature of the DC Circuit docket, I'm not sure that many, if any, of those would be relevant. But you'd still like him to know them.
His law school was Virginia, which is a good one. People may not realize it, but the elite law schools don't really teach much nuts and bolts law. It's all theory. I went to UH at night, so about half my hours were taught by adjuncts who were practicing attorneys, so we got a pretty good dose. I really liked the mix of education I got.
I have my undergrad business law students prepare basic motions. I tell them that if they go to Harvard Law School, and get hired by a posh firm, the first day on the job they will likely be told to go draft a motion or a response, and the only experience they will have ever had in doing that will be in my intro business law course.

Similar to what my brother (undergrad Memphis] experienced at Northwestern getting his MBA. He ended up tutoring half the ivy leaguers in his class. I think all they do is contemplate their navel then assume they are enlightened.
