I once interviewed with the Manhattan DA. I made it to the second level of interviews. I faced three female DA’s who sat at the far end of the table. One asked about my first summer internship, which was with a conservative/libertarian legal group. Her jaw hit the floor. Her sisters practically got ANGRY with me for daring to present myself to them.

I was never called back.

Let it be a cautionary tale to today’s law student. Maybe things have changed, but I doubt it. Unless you’re guaranteed a job somewhere or with someone who doesn’t care, be very careful about what you reveal about your politics. It is probably different for Harvard or Yale students — you’re so high up, nobody really cares what your politics are. But the rest of us have to keep in mind that the legal profession, like academia, has a strong left-wing orientation, and it is not interested in “diversity”.
