Without formal training, he wrote a petition for certoriari that was accepted by the US Supreme Court. That's a hell of an accomplishment, and one that bespeaks an unusual level of talent. I don't think we have to see this as a finger on the scale at all.
- rayiner 9y agoI think that’s a big part of it. Getting a cert petition accepted puts you in a small pool of lawyers. Doing it from prison, more than once, without a SCOTUS clerkship or a stint at the SG’s office to give you insight into the unique dynamics of that process, shows some talent and also puts him in a niche that could be valuable to a university like Georgetown.
