I knew a guy who knew Dodd.
He told me they both failed out of the University of Maryland Law School
and then went to the University of Louisville School of Law, known as the easiest law school in the country to get a degree from.
After they got out of basketball school Louisville with their certifications as lawyers, the guy I knew got a job with the US government.
Meanwhile Dodd stepped into the Connecticut political machine set up by his father, Senator Dodd, and was elected to US Congress from Connecticut in 1974, two years after he got out of Louisville.
Dodd’s buddy told me that he had a complaint hearing about something to do with his government job, and things did not look good for him when, in the middle of hearing, Dodd walked in.
The government people holding the hearing were terrified, since Dodd was a US Congressman.
This turned things strongly in favor of the guy I knew, “Until Dodd started talking,” the guy told me with despair..
Once Dodd started talking it was clear he knew nothing about the subject at hand, and he actually ended up hurting the buddy he came to help.
“If only he would have kept his mouth shut,” the guy told me.
I just checked Dodd’s own official Senate biography, and it reads:
“In 1972, he earned a law degree from the University of Louisville School of Law.”
