@ProfRobAnderson Big law neither wants nor needs “practice ready” grads. People with lots of practice skills aren’t appreciably more successful. And the business model relies on a hoard of juniors who don’t plan to make partner but want training. The in-house ecosystem also relies on this set up.

@brianlfrye I do a thought experiment re this and it never fails. In a group of 100 the most I’ve EVER had is 2 people who renounce ownership over things they own.

So, my undergraduate negotiation students were given the opportunity to submit real live negotiations… and their choices were awesome and hilarious and wonderful.

I mean… this really isn’t controversial… maybe not common practice because 🤬 but it’s Assessment 101.

@MedDhiaH @ksuenamu My favorite thing about responses are all the people—on fricking Twitter of all platforms—suddenly questioning the methods of… checks references: Gallup, the country’s leading provider of opinion survey data. Like, *now* you don’t trust Gallup Polls!?!?

Pro Tip: It’s okay to say, “I’m in a panic over X and it caused me to lose sight of some of my core values. I didn’t appreciate how much bias I carry that I need to actively combat in myself. I plan to do that work without burdening the communities I’ve hurt and offended.”

I had no idea my racist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic comments calling people idiots who should “get the f— out of America” would offend anyone. I’m h̶o̶r̶r̶i̶d̶ horrified.

I don’t know who needs to hear this. But it’s probably a good idea to find a way to prevent too much desensitization. Like, I casually watched multiple death videos on my feed today. That’s really not okay. And my sudden emotional overload at the stoplight is likely the result.

I don’t know… but “Israel is so ineffective at genocide we shouldn’t even call it that” is not the defense people think it is. I’m not convinced it is a useful debate but that’s not the winner.

@Erika_K_Wilson Varies by jurisdiction but where signing is expected, individuals are free to decline to sign. They do risk arrest in that case but they shouldn’t be risking death. Using a strategy that is ignorant, wrong, or stupid isn’t enough to justify death. Tired of folks saying it is.

@brianlfrye @dickens432 My point was just that this is not a straight forward thing. But I also think *many* law professors—especially those that have been rewarded by it—are very invested in the system, even while engaging in socially de rigueur bashing/angsting.

I see comments like this and—while I appreciate the sentiment—it gives real knows-little-to-nothing-about-the-relationship-between-universities-and their-constituent-schools energy. Law professors cannot just up and decide to solve this problem.

I see a fair amount of law professors tweeting about the most recent Harvard Law Review contretemps. However, law professors could solve such problems by not relying on publication in student law reviews as evidence for tenure, and instead solve the problem themselves.

@dickens432 If you wanted this to happen by fiat, you’d need to lobby the ABA, not law professors. If the accreditor made the change, universities would have to accept it. But peer review is also rife with problems. Not clear it’s the best place to put ABA lobby energy.

@dickens432 Well, except at stand alone law schools, the central university makes the final determination on tenure. Most law schools don’t have enough capital to jettison the system they had to fight to get accepted to replace it with essentially nothing. Same on hiring.

@MaybellRomero I have this feeling about people from a lot of places. Perhaps the people of greater Los Angeles could show more attention to other places. But waaaay too many people make hating LA part of their geographic identity.

Why are capitalism’s apologists so dead set on assuring everyone some problem would still exist under some other order? Like… this is not the dunk you think it is.

And then you get out of your teens and realize what you’d been optimistically attributing to “capitalism” are ubiquitous human pathologies, mostly even worse under other economic orders.
