Through what medium did this student say this, in class or something?

I assign him legal research relating to creditor derivative standing and, specifically, factors that impact whether such standing arises. After > week of failing to return my calls, the SA tells me he can't find anything because "all the cases are about standing," and none resolve the issue "on the substance" (I guess he meant on the merits). I gently suggest that he begin with a secondary source -- but "there aren't any." At first I think he's just blowing off the assignment, but as I continue to go back and forth with him I realize he's an abject retard as well.

I give the SA a 4-minus which is the most emphatic kiss of death biglaw gentility will allow. In my comments I express concerns about both commitment and cognitive ability.

Near the end of the summer I receive a call from someone involved in recruiting, who indicates she is in the process of calling this kid's supervisors and asking us to rephrase some of our criticisms as actionable areas for improvement. For example: is there specific supplemental training the SA should receive? I say no, and candidly reiterate my concerns about cognitive ability (something I mentioned verbatim in my review). Recruiting girl sighs and says I'm not the first to issue such feedback, but Summer Associate X is a diverse candidate, plus he also attends a TTT law school favored by a TTT-made-good partner, so the firm wants to give him an offer if at all possible.

Turns out he's not even black -- he's fractionally hispanic. He got an offer, but did not last long at the firm. Can't remember where he went.

Basically if you are black at a t14 they won’t let you fail at any point in the first 10 years of your career.
