Faculty Salaries

How much money does YOUR law professor make?

That takes care of that. Oregon Law professors will be able to keep their “paltry raises” after all.

This law professor is ENRAGED at the thought of not getting his raise.

Which law school has managed to avoid junior-faculty layoffs, and what lessons might it have to offer to other law schools that are attempting to rightsize themselves?

How should a law school go about shrinking itself? All options should be placed on the table.

Professors at Minnesota Law might not make as much as their coastal counterparts, but they still do quite nicely.

The top professors at UCLA Law do very, very well for themselves.

They say everything is bigger in Texas. Is that true of law professor salaries?

The socioeconomic voyeurism continues. Today we look at faculty salaries at Berkeley Law.

But in this market, I bet a law school that said, “We hire only cheap professors and pass the savings on to you,” would have a lot of appeal. [National Law Journal]

Three years at Michigan Law prices out to $194,148, and that's assuming that Michigan doesn't raise tuition while you are there. One would expect a significant amount of that high tuition goes toward making Michigan Law what it is, and keeping the professional opportunities rolling for Michigan graduates. Apparently, keeping Michigan Law what it is involves paying Michigan Law Dean Evan Caminker quite a tidy sum....

* Is it possible that in South Dakota you have to go through a shorter waiting period to buy a gun and shoot someone who is already alive than you have to go through in order to have an abortion? Could somebody check on that? [MSNBC] * Did you see this chart showing that law […]
