Guest Blogging on LRW, the Meat Market, and Whatever Else Strikes My Fancy
Thanks for having me back--glad to be here!
During this guest-blogging stint, I'm going to try to focus on three things:
- I plan to do a series of posts on the role of Legal Research and Writing in the law school curriculum. For reasons that I will explain, I think that this subject is unfortunately overlooked on blogs like this.
- With the meat market upon us, I will likely do a post or two on the subject. I went through the process last year and greatly appreciated all of the information available on the internets tubes. If readers have questions or suggestions for posts, please leave comments.
- One of the nice things about blogging is that I get to write whatever else I want. (I promised that there would be three items of focus, so I guess this is like being granted three wishes by the genie and using the last one to wish for an infinite number of wishes.)

It would be nice to read a post on what more one must do to distinguish yourself and land tenure-track if you didn't go to Yale, Harvard, or Stanford, but still perhaps went to a top 25 school. Is the bar considerably higher, do you need better/more publications, is a VAP or fellowship that much more required, or do these questions miss the point (since perhaps the process is simply not that predictable).

How about a post on how to decide whether you're ready to go on the Meat Market (with a focus on quantity/placement of publications and where you went to school, as a potentially disqualifying factor).

Sounds like a great series. If anyone knows how I can RSS a specific blogger on a group blog, fill me in. Wouldn't want to miss this series. :)
