She attended Harvard, don't you know that makes her a scholar. Oh, wait, Mitt Romney has two degrees from Harvard so he is considered an preeminent scholar as well, don't you know.

Her articles are surveys of law, articulating no new principle or concepts, but rather just state the current status of the law. So that makes her a scholar, I suppose.

Again, Harvard status conveys an aura of scholarship.
