Advice for New Law Professors

Bill Henderson (Indiana) and Jeff Lipshaw (Suffolk) offer some of the best advice I have ever heard for new law professors about to embark on the journey toward the tenure promised land:

  • Bill:  "Cowardice never produces substantial results …, but careful analysis tactfully rendered can earn the respect of your peers. Indeed, the organization begins to depend upon you for good results. Your security becomes a function of institutional self-interest."
  • Jeff:  "Don’t be a wallflower, and don’t be a bull in a china shop. Be self-aware. Be respectful of those who have come before you. Have courage."
