‘La la la la, I can’t hear you.’
Many law professors are guilty of a shocking level of thin-skinnedness.
— the conclusion reached by Professor Robert Jarvis of Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law Center in his article, “Law Professors as Plaintiffs,” which chronicles lawsuits brought by law professors. Jarvis notes that the same three issues are often at the heart of law professors’ lawsuits: “dissatisfaction with, and professional jealousy of, faculty colleagues; disagreements with, and distrust of, administrators; and feeling that others are receiving better, and undeserved, treatment.”
