14. Law schools have hiring committees
Thu Mar 28, 2024, 02:11 AM

And they all tend to be quite serious about ethical standards that professor applicants must meet. They expect law professors to be good models for students, and disbarred lawyers are anything but that.

So right up there at the top of qualifying as a good role model is 'being a lawyer in good standing,' and by that they mean either a current member of the bar in good standing, or a lawyer who retired in good standing.

I suppose some of the iffier law schools might hire a disbarred attorney in some rare cases, but the good ones? Not at all.

The only places I can see hiring him are a fundie college--Regent, Liberty, etc. And even they would probably balk at it.
