Posted by Eugene Volokh: Now There's an Odd Thing to See in an American Statute: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_04_12-2009_04_18.shtml#1239826695
[1]N.Y. Education Law � 5703 sets up the Cornell board of trustees, and includes -- as one member out of 64 -- "The eldest lineal descendant of Ezra Cornell[, who] shall be a trustee for his or her life." Hardly outrageous, given Ezra Cornell's role in founding the university that bears its name, but still pretty odd. References 1. http://law.onecle.com/new-york/education/EDN05703_5703.html
