Hunter Biden's Admission to Yale Law School

After The Price of Admission was published, I learned about an instance of a U.S. president seeking to influence an admissions decision. In 1993, Guido Calabresi, then dean of Yale Law School, received a call from the White House. Yale Law’s most powerful alumnus, President Bill Clinton, asked him to let in a Georgetown University graduate named Hunter Biden, according to two people familiar with the incident. Hunter was the younger son of Joe Biden, then chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and now a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. Calabresi, who had walled off the dean’s office from the admissions process at Yale Law to avoid just such pressure, told Clinton that he would not intercede. The admissions office then rejected Hunter.

Calabresi did meet with Hunter, however, and encouraged him to go to another law school and reapply to Yale as a transfer student. Hunter took his advice. After a year at Georgetown’s law school, Hunter was admitted to Yale in the summer of 1994, soon after Calabresi stepped down as dean.

A person close to Hunter Biden said that he had strong credentials, including an LSAT score around Yale Law’s median. At Yale, he earned editing positions on two law journals before receiving his degree in 1996. “The notion that his admission was a favor, or wasn’t merited, it’s just offensive to him,” this person said.
