David
Lander is well known to many readers of CreditSlips as a skilled
business/commercial lawyer who retains an enduring interest in issues of
consumer credit and consumer protection. David also does some teaching, and (like many of us) he has concerns about the place of the commercial law curriculum in the law school
passage—in particular, the (apparent) growth of the use of adjuncts to teach
"regular" classes (um, we do think they are regular, do we not?). He’s working on a paper
to explore some of the implications. In
the hope of expanding the discussion, David has kindly allowed me to post a
(highly preliminary) draft here. Reader
comments invited. Here’s the link:
