Where do Law Profs come from?

The Recorder has Want to be a Law Prof? Doesn't Hurt to Clerk in the Ninth Circuit, which calls out Judges Reinhardt, Dorothy Nelson, and Tashima. The underlying law review article, Academic Feeder Judges, is here.

Law360's article (5 Judges Send More Clerks Into Academia Than Any Others) notes:
Topping the list is Second Circuit Judge Guido Calabresi, with 42 former clerks now working full-time at American Bar Association-accredited law schools in the U.S., according to the paper. He is followed by the late Ninth Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt, with 32; D.C. Circuit Judge Stephen Williams, with 29; and Ninth Circuit Judge Dorothy Nelson and retired Seventh Circuit Judge Richard Posner, with 28 each.
Also of note: Yesterday's DJ had the monthly Exceptionally Appealing column, titled Length Matters, about how long a brief should be.
Law360 also has 7th Circ. Lectures Attys On Not Checking Court Handbook about a published opinion issued yesterday scolding appellate counsel for failing to include proper jurisdictional statements in appellate briefs. Chief Judge Diane Wood wrote, as the opening line, "This court takes jurisdictional issues seriously -- indeed it is proud to have a reputation as a jurisdictional hawk."
