The Non-Pizza Lunch
What a week! Back at my alma mater, I got to give a talk on clemency and faith, debate my old friend Rich Sullivan on narcotics policy, meet with 30 other people working with students on clemency cases, and meet with about a dozen Yale Law students at one time or another to talk about writing projects, job prospects, and the Law Journal.
So… a few days ago I posted pictures of a few of the posters from this week. Many people are wondering: What is this promise of a "non-pizza lunch?"
Well… first of all, it's not a non-lunch, it's just a lunch that is something other than pizza. Apparently, YLS charges a $50 fee to organizations to clean up after a lunch, but waives it if the lunch is pizza. (I heard a few various theories about why this might be). As a result, they get a LOT of pizza at events, and a non-pizza lunch is a big deal...
