I'm a 0L thinking about a career as a legal academic. There is so much gold in this podcast--and not just for people thinking about becoming professors. The Emma Kaufman article was by far my fave, but all of them are great!

Not for everyone, but for those interested in... well... the legal academy, it’s fantastic listening. Remarkably candid and reflective about what it’s like to try enter, be in and improve... well, the legal academy! A public service — thanks!

A great resource for aspiring legal academics. The Jamal Greene episode was my favorite

Fascinating look into the minds of the people responsible for educating future lawyers. Seems particularly timely with the great uncertainty that has suddenly been thrust onto the world of education/academia.
