There's a wide disconnect these days between legal education and law practice. You'll hear a lot of discussion about it, especially among practicing lawyers.

Anayat Durrani's Becoming a Law Professor, Part 2 is mighty interesting reading. I read the article with a chaser of this post and savored the irony.

Thankfully, the guardians of the gates of law professor hiring are busily at work keeping people like the lawyer bloggers well away from teaching any law students.

Heck, one of the reasons we started "Between Lawyers" was because we had to research and answer questions on new legal issues long before any academic search was available. I'm sorry, but law review articles that come out a year after the fact don't make a lot of sense in today's world, but it is quaint to read about people who think that they are the most important factor in hiring law professors.

I'm curious about how innovation takes place in that environment.
