An unnamed Yale Law School student said that two of her professors, Jed Rubenfeld and his wife, Amy Chua, warned her that then-federal judge Brett Kavanaugh liked his female clerks to have a “certain look,” according to a Wednesday Huffington Post report.
“He did not say what the ‘certain look’ was. I did not ask,” the woman told the Huffington Post. “It was very clear to me that he was talking about physical appearance, because it was phrased as a warning ― and because it came after the warning about Judge Kozinski.” Alex Kozinski retired in December to a chorus of sexual harassment accusations.

Judges are so powerful in the career arc of clerks. I’m sure that some of them who had “the look” have a story to tell, if they feel up to it.
I know one shouldn’t judge people on hearsay…BUT…this guy has always struck me as too slickly “good.” “I volunteer, I coach girls sports, I love my Mom…” It’s all been too much and he seems smarmy…kinda like an adult Eddie Haskell with a little more polish. (That’s a “Leave it to Beaver” reference for you young folk. For you even younger folk “Leave it to Beaver” was a warm, family comedy from the 50s. And by the way…get off my lawn.)
Jed Rubenfeld is one to talk.
Do you know him?
