It's not like they're paying for it themselves. <br /><br />Despite their $200K salaries, they'll charge this to the school. <br /><br />So some poor kid who's trying to secure a middle-class lifestyle can pick up the check. <br /><br />Or some janitor will via taxes, later on down the line when the law school grad can't make the student loan payment because they didn't get a job. <br /><br />So what does this cost for a week long conference? $3K, $5K? And that's before their per diem steak and lobster dinners, I'm sure. <br /><br />Oh well, back to the grind now. Have to figure out a way to fit "social justice" into some case from the 1850's. Class is just around the corner, and they've only got 3 to 6 hours per week to inculcate these students with the proper values. <br /><br />Otherwise they might grow up to be the type of greedy people that stay at places like the Breakers resort, while so many others out there remain so poor.

They strongly criticize "greedy corporations" and "the wealthy 1%," but they are just as bad as those they criticize. They are a bunch of elitists who take advantage of idealistic but misguided students. At non-T14 schools (aka most law schools) the professors look down their noses with contempt at their non-elite students, despite the fact that these students are going deeply into debt to support the law professors' comfortable lifestyles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-38634357527695508892013-08-15T13:28:41.658-06:002013-08-15T13:28:41.658-06:00My Civ Pro prof did not publish anything for years...My Civ Pro prof did not publish anything for years and taught the same classes year after year.

When they give lectures, it's like listening to Ben Stein speaking in ancient biblical toungues. I would rather buy a Winchester rifle and shoot myself through the mouth than listen to them lean against a chair and drone. Law professors also do paid speaking tours like the one I attended when George W.'s torture master Brian Yoo from UC Berkley gave a garbled, horrendously boring lecture about homeland security to a group of students and law professors. <br /><br />Now, listen to me militant liberal law professors, just because I hate George W.
