A Professor's View On Legal Education And the Law School

ON THE DALTON CASE

"I was not around [for the Dalton case]. I was in Chicago when the vote was taken."

ON INFIGHTING AT THE LAW SCHOOL

"I don't find [the politics] at the Law School a problem. There is a diversity of opinions on the faculty. I think the students benefit from that. The environment is active and very diverse. I think the students and the world of scholarship have benefitted from them."

ON LAW AND ECONOMICS AND CRITICAL LEGAL STUDIES

"I think Law and Economics gives insights. I'm not a card carrier by any means. It's a new perspective for new views. I've learned from CLS, too. For instance, [Professor of Law] Duncan Kennedy's critique of Law and Economics has been very powerful and very insightful. I've learned a lot from that, too."

ON DEAN VORENBERG

"I think he's done a remarkable job under difficult circumstances. I think he's kept the ship floating forward.

"His Low Income Protection Plan has been a great innovation that's being imitated at other law schools."

ON THE DEAN SEARCH PROCESS

"I think the process has been a good one for getting both faculty and student input. We've had a faculty search committee and a student search committee and they're both innovations."
