Georgetown Law goes woke, and woe to the profession
At most law schools, the first few weeks of property law are spent on foundational cases of British common law. At Georgetown University, they are spent on structural racism and cultural appropriation.
Students in professor Madhavi Sunder's mandatory first-year course learn on day one that the history of American property law is "the history of dispossession and appropriation," according to videos of the course reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Lecture slides from the first month of coursework trace the "birth" of modern property law not to English courts, but to "Native dispossession and the enslavement of African Americans." "Possession," one slide asserts, "is a legal term of art for a settler capitalist society."
And so on. But here’s the problem:
Georgetown is far and away the most influential school to actually implement such a requirement. It is a stalwart of the "top 14″—law schools traditionally seen as stepping stones to elite law firms, clerkships, and judicial appointments. And its scholars have long set the tone for legal academia: Several Georgetown law professors were early proponents of critical legal studies, the academic precursor to critical race theory.
The school is hoping to capitalize on this influence, framing its requirement as a model "for others to follow."
Baby lawyers grow up to be full-fledged judges, and increasingly, judges make our laws. A generation of law school graduates who know nothing about real estate, intellectual property, or patent law, all branches of property law, spells trouble. Worse, this know-nothingism is spreading through the entire body of law, replacing 1,000 years of slowly developed principles with a brand new one that starts with a basic concept that property is theft; that’s what the communists posited, and then proved it by stealing everything their opponents and the useful idiots below them possessed.
