What's Up At Yale Law School?

So maybe being from Yale Law School doesn’t make you God’s gift to the legal profession (at least according to this commenter). But we still care about developments at our alma mater — and were intrigued to hear about an urgent meeting, to be held at YLS later today:

TO: The Yale Law School Community
FROM: Harold Hongju Koh
DATE: September 14, 2007

RE: VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE ATTEND 12:30 P.M. MEETING TODAY.

If you are in New Haven, I ask you to please attend a very important meeting of the Yale Law School Community in the Law School Auditorium at 12:30 TODAY September 14, 2007. I am sorry not to be able to give you more information at this time; that information will be provided at the meeting. Let me reiterate that this is a very important meeting, and if you are in town and are able, I would ask you please to attend.

Thank you

Harold

What might this be about? We asked our tipster to opine:

My first thought was Doe v. Ciolli. Then I started thinking positive, like someone got appointed to a high position. But Koh as AG under Bush? Nope.

Then I heard from the grapevine that something sad has happened and they need to let certain people know before they inform the whole student body. So now I think it may be a death or rape or something. Hopefully not.

Please feel free to speculate (but responsibly) in the comments. We will let you know when we have more.
Update (11:35 AM): We understand that something serious happened to a first-year law student. Please keep your comments in good taste. Thank you.
Update (12:40 PM): As noted here, a first-year student was found dead in his apartment last night. We are closing this thread to new comments. Please continue the discussion in the new post.
