A moment of admission

This weekend, W&M Law hosted about 100 the admitted students of the Class of 2011 — next year's 1Ls. I had the pleasure of serving on a couple of student-led Q&A sessions with David Bules, a 3L who sits on the other end of the political spectrum from me. During the Q&A, with about 200 people in the room, an admitted student asked about the political composition of the student body here. Bules and I looked at each other and laughed.

I said that as a liberal-leaning person, I see the composition as about 60-40 conservative. Bules said that as a conservative-leaning person, he sees the composition as about 90-10 liberal.

What can I say? We're a vocal minority.
