No Need to Know Your Law (School) to Be a Lawyer

In February 1957, Harvey Wax,  a young man aspiring to become a lawyer, received a rejection letter from "Princeton University's Law School" he had applied for earlier.  Mr. Wax subsequently tried his luck elsewhere, with Harvard's Law School, and was admitted.  He later indeed became a lawyer.
