Alabama Federal Judge Shuns Yale Law School

This is an awesome story. An Alabama federal judge has decided to refuse all applications from Yale Law students for a clerkship with him based on the fact that Yale Law School does not allow military recruiters on campus.

Apparently, the federal judge, Judge William Acker, Jr. is a Yale Law graduate himself and has had many Yale Law clerks over the years. He notified Dean Harold Koh of the law school of his intention to boycott all Yale clerks in a letter on Monday. Good to see somebody taking a stand!
