So yeah, maybe the law journal-industrial complex needs to be run by professional staff starting immediately.

It also applies to the same sort of article submitted by a professor, when 2L editors aren’t sophisticated enough to know they’re poorly reasoned. And those articles then become some of the strongest persuasive authority out there.

Extraordinarily small potatoes! But the same principle applies all the way up to poorly reasoned (and unsigned?!) Harvard Law Review student notes promoting fringe right-wing legal theories.

I’m grateful he caught that—the 2Ls cite checking the piece and the 3Ls doing final edits (of course!) did not have sufficient tax expertise to be able to correct that error. Nor did they have sufficient time to run the math on it and cross check it against relevant statutory authority and caselaw.
