Above The Law reports on Brian Schroeder, a man who has attended not one but two of the world's douchiest colleges, and who has mounted his bid for Douchebag of the Year by allegedly trying to burn down a chapel that holds the remains of unidentified 9/11 victims. Schroeder, a graduate of Duke University and Harvard Law School, reportedly set fire to he chapel at Memorial Park on 30th Street in New York City at 9 a.m. yesterday because of a drunken dare. He was one of those law grads who was being paid by a Biglaw firm to do pro bono work until the economy picked up. Presumably, this particular act anti bono has also torched Schroeder's nascent law career.

The remains of 9/11 victims were reportedly unharmed by the fire, but "mementos and candles 'were destroyed or possibly stolen,' according to Mayor Bloomberg." [ATL]
