my favorite professor getting kicked out?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 17th, 2012 11:35 AM Author: mewling shivering native one of the better teachers at my law school will be considered for tenure in the coming months (granted next april i suppose)
now his publication list consists of: 1. 2 articles in low-ranking journals that he wrote before he began his tenure-track position. 2. 1 article in a third-tier law review - I think it got published only because he was invited to a conference and the law review was a conference edition 3. a short book review article that is published in a magazine, not LR.
I would be sad if he got kicked out. I have never heard of this at my school. it seems that the bar is not high.
will the works that he wrote before coming here be considered? |

I paid tuition for this type of behind-the-scenes bullshit?
What the fuck do those articles have to do with his ability to teach me promissory estoppel? |

scholarship expectations have increased dramatically in the past 5 years, even at TTTs. yes, it's BS given that most of the scholarship is intellectual masturbation at best. but that's just how it is.
teaching evaluations are almost negligible; they don't help and can only hurt. basically, as long as you don't consistently have a lot of negative reviews, they don't matter at all.
his only hope is if he is URM, politically connected or secured a huge donation for the school. |

Date: July 17th, 2012 12:53 PM Author: mewling shivering native none in top journals. but i've seen people getting tenure without having published consistently in top LRs.
he's not URM in the hispanic/african american sense. but he is international. so he's safe maybe? |

Date: July 17th, 2012 4:55 PM Author: Carnelian generalized bond gas station Greetings, Depends on the rank of the law school, and it's also a bit more elastic than I said. I have a friend who got tenure in the past 5 years who published once in a YHS-level LR, once in a BU-level, and once in a T50. |

Date: July 17th, 2012 12:21 PM Author: abnormal persian cruise ship I helped edit a conference edition for my law review. The topic was "complex litigation." Not trial tactics or anything, but the philosophy behind certification as a class. It was basically a bunch of academic incest. They all cited back and forth. A little club of people each citing ten people and then getting cited ten times. Makes them look prestigious when really nobody outside their club cares...at all.

Date: July 17th, 2012 2:25 PM Author: Wild crackhouse it seems that inadequate publication record correlates with great teaching.
e.g. http://www.bc.edu/schools/law/fac-staff/deans-faculty/barrozop.html
how about this? |
