It's more about showing off (as a Professor/as a student), and as you said, fear.<br /><br />Similar to the cold-calling thing, I believe that laptops should be forbidden in law schools.<br /><br />Yes law schools are very, very inefficient and terrible at actually teaching law. They are about status, superiority complexes, money-grubbing, put-downs, meaningless accolades and awards (that somehow become excessively important in "hiring"-when there is any hiring, anyway, like 10 years ago or whatever).<br /><br />As the prosecutor-you are spot on. I could count on one hand the number of profs who had any kind of real world experience. <br /><br />Who are we kidding though - none of this crap would matter if law schools charged what they charged 30 years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-6002637027270129352011-08-22T12:08:10.046-07:002011-08-22T12:08:10.046-07:00Re: class prep.

He'd just returned from sabbatical, committing evil in D.C., and recycled a several years' old syllabus for our class. Presumably having his secretary change the dates on the assignments. This became apparent when page assignments would frequently start and end in the middle of cases. His syllabus was based on an older edition of the text book. This was never openly acknowledged in class. Not even on the day he started questioning us about a case that was no longer in the book. He was just sort of - huh, weird. Then 50% of the points on his final were based on things we'd never studied in class. Good times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-67879832721296540502011-08-18T10:08:34.627-07:002011-08-18T10:08:34.627-07:00I love your comments.

I have always wanted to be a tenured law professor, but despite what most would consider to be impeccable, exceptional credentials and a track record of teaching excellence, no one will hire me. I've had a few interviews, and my deficiencies are now clearly apparent to me, as relayed by various deans and associate deans:<br /><br />1. "You're a burned out trial lawyer--and a prosecutor at that." Translation: How dare you come in here after years of practice and with knowledge of the real world, something that I don't have and couldn't hack! And besides, prosecutors are generally conservative. Go away.<br /><br />2. "You've written how many treatises published by West and law review articles? You have written for practicing lawyers. It's not academic writing." Translation: Damn, you have more publications than I do. You'll make me look bad.<br /><br />3. "Being well-reviewed as an adjunct or visitor is no guarantee of success here at BIG SHOT LAW SCHOOL." Translation: Damn, if we hired you, you'd easily be the best, most popular professor here and would soon have my job.<br /><br />And if nothing else,<br />4. "We only hire folks from top 10 law schools." Translation: Get out of here. You are making me sick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-33338926219786257102011-08-12T09:44:54.220-07:002011-08-12T09:44:54.220-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alex Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01748563487600793151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-25390630333968776772011-08-12T05:26:41.823-07:002011-08-12T05:26:41.823-07:00"many of the traditional methods of law schoo..."many of the traditional methods of law school teaching, in particular cold-calling students in order to require them to participate in a pseudo-Socratic dialogue, are simply idiotic (if research into education methods has established anything, it has proven that fear is a powerful impediment to learning)."<br /><br />I always felt that the Socratic method was intended to be an impediment to learning, the equivalent to engineering exams in which the average class score is 30% -- the purpose being to weed out those who have no business being in law school.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914985126761335721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-76733580296117166142011-08-11T17:31:34.420-07:002011-08-11T17:31:34.420-07:00Great post.

While I was in law school I would often go down to the university's athletic facility after class to swim some laps in the pool. I ran into my constitutional law professor (an excellent man) on many occasions, and I marveled at how tan he was. He obviously spent a lot of time at the pool. I dreamed of having a job like his where I could swim laps every afternoon at 2:30pm.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276610560089503338noreply@blogger.com
