Making The Move From Law Practitioner To Law Professor, Or How Not To Simplify Your Life, Susan J. Becker
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
The author discusses her transition from litigation practice to teaching law. She concludes that there are three discrete yet connected components of a law professor's job which closely parallel that of a litigator: teaching, administrative service, and scholarship.

Why Hard Cases Make Good (Clinical) Law, Paul D. Reingold
Why Hard Cases Make Good (Clinical) Law, Paul D. Reingold
Articles
In 1992, when the University of California's Hastings College of Law decided to offer a live-client clinic for the first time, its newly hired director had to make several decisions about what form the program should take.1 The first question for the director was whether the clinic should be a single-issue specialty clinic or a general clinic that would represent clients across several areas of the law. The second question, and the one that will be the focus of this essay, was whether the program should restrict its caseload to "easy" routine cases or also accept non-routine, less controllable litigation. …
Bouquets For Jerry Israel, Yale Kamisar
Bouquets For Jerry Israel, Yale Kamisar
Articles
As it turned out, of those asked to write a few words for an issue of the Michigan Law Review honoring Jerry Israel, I was the last to do so. And when I submitted my brief contribution to the Law Review I took the liberty of reading what the four others who paid tribute to Jerry had written. As a result, I feel like the fifth and last speaker at a banquet who listens to others say much of what he had planned to say.

The Rhythms Of Hope And Disappointment In The Language Of Judging (St. John's University School Of Law: Rededication Symposia), James Boyd White
Articles
I want to talk today about a certain aspect or dimension of the language of judging. From one point of view the quality I mean can be seen as a kind of idealism inherent in legal language; from another, as a kind of fundamental hypocrisy; from still another, as a simultaneously tragic and comic element in legal life.
On Becoming A Law Professor, Terrance Sandalow
On Becoming A Law Professor, Terrance Sandalow
Articles
Thirty-five years ago, when I first joined a law faculty, only one job description existed for law professors, that for the conventional classroom teacher. In the years since, the opportunities available to lawyers interested in teaching have become a bit more varied. In addition to conventional classroom teachers, a growing number of law teachers are employed by law schools to provide what I shall somewhat misleadingly call clinical instruction.1 Although these comments are addressed mainly to men and women interested in classroom teaching, a few lines about clinical teaching may be in order because the initial question for anyone considering …
Walter Trinkaus, Grace C. Tonner
Walter Trinkaus, Grace C. Tonner
Articles
I first met Walter Trinkaus as a third-year law student in his Remedies II class at Loyola. We quickly learned that Walter's class was not simply a study of cases but a series of stories taken from his many experiences as a lawyer. Walter's stories revealed much more than the law of remedies; they showed us how to effectively represent clients, how to properly treat each other, and how to practice law ethically. Walter also helped us put our first two years of law school in perspective because he placed a human face on the hypothetical problems of the classroom. …
