I didn't see that.

My critique of the law school faculty is that we have not replaced the departing faculty with the faculty of the same stature.

The newer hires are former BYU students who may have studied law at Harvard but have absolutely little or no professional experience. Yet, their Harvard law degree and BYU undergrad got them hired.

The older guard had established professors from Michigan, a solicitor general, established prosecutors and noted tax professionals. That experience and stature is not being replaced and the new faculty appears to be a bunch of lightweights.

Here's a list of the faculty.

Some are still there that many years later. Amazing. Yet lots of new names.

This is the type of hire I don't get.

Whereas this one makes more sense.
