Your NYU Law School Hotties
The NYU Law School hotties contest that we wrote about earlier has concluded. And the winners have been announced.
The results were leaked to us by a tipster who had this to say:
Here you go. Personally I question the results, seeing that I’m not on there.Probably hanging chad and all that.
We reprint the results email, along with the names of the winners, after the jump.
Here is the text of the email:
The votes are in! After tossing ballots without (or with fake) net ids, 274 people voted. Requiring net ids was to prevent ballot stuffing, which people tried to do anyway.About this whole thing: of course it’s stupid. But it’s also interesting to see how group perceptions of attractiveness differ from one’s own personal perceptions. This is especially difficult because discussions of who’s attractive is seldom open and frank outside of a small group of friends.
Leave it to a law student to try and come up with a social-psychology-based justification for a hotties contest.
In all honesty, however, the true impetus for this was the following conversation between me and a friend: “I’m way more into [person A] than [person B].” “But [person B] is so hot!” “But they totally suck,” I counter, “and I’m totally positive that people at school think [Person A] is more attractive.” Turns out I was right.One person emailed us to say that this is degrading to women. That might be the stupidest thing we have ever heard. Is it degrading to women because people aren’t supposed to find women attractive? It might be degrading to everyone, we’ll give you. But seriously.
We agree with the contest sponsors. This was equal opportunity ogling; both men and women were objectified.
Also, we did this all anonymously because, quite frankly, there’s no upside to revealing who we are. We’ll give one hint, and one hint only: if faculty were included, we would have voted for our Con law professor.
ATL readers: Any guesses as to who these folks might be? (And is the professor in question Noah Feldman?)
Without further ado, here are the top ten vote getters, in alphabetical order:Men:
Marcos Arellano
Adan Canizales
Steven Cephas
Seth Endo
Ahmed Ghappour
Matthew Jackson
Michael Okoye
Arinze Onugha

Haha. Nice try!
If you have pictures of any of the 20 winning hotties, feel free to send ‘em our way. Thanks!

I can't believe neither Chris Bradley nor Mark Loudon-Brown made it. This is a travesty on the part of the American Legal Profession. (Call me Adan).
I am disappointed by the voting thus far for Rachael McCracken. She is by far the hottest girl at this school.
Well, Chris Bradley has made a play for almost every girl at this school, and is one of the dirtiest guys I have ever met. After one night of talking to him last fall, I had to go home and take a shower. Stories about him make my skin crawl. Thats why he didn't get my vote, anyway.
Yes! He is a total dog. He dated a good friend of mine during college and cheated on her. Repeatedly. Nothing "Hot" about him.
First off, the people designed the contest are 2L's as Feldman's con. law class consisted of 1L's. As such, they probably allowed many 2L's to vote or didn't check to see who wasn't a 3L. The amount of 3L's I know who actually voted (or admitted voting) was small. Many of the 1L or 2L's voting have no idea what these people look like in person so they end up voting based on the picture book, which doesn't give an accurate depiction of one's looks.
They allowed girls to vote for girls and vice-versa. Girls usually have a different opinion of which other girls are good-looking.
NYU has considerably better looking girls who were left off the list. To name a few: Ali Grodin, Jeena Shah, and Melanie Grossman.
A disproportionate number of people on the list were members of the Critical Legal Studies Reading Group. I suspect that certain friends encouraged there other friends to vote, while others did not.
And yes, Chris Bradley is a dog. I am surprised anyone would go out with him. He dresses poorly and is quite pretentious.
of course girls should be able to vote for girls and vice versa. or are you in favor of restricting idiotic contests of physical atrractiveness to a rigidly heteronormative model?
