Bearded One

I taught twice. In the first instance, as a graduate student,
I taught a course that I had taken the year before. The
second time I lectured on the work that I was doing full
time. Teaching was never a huge work load.

No, teaching is not work. Digging ditches in the New Jersey
swamps during the summer for $ 0.50 per hour is work.
Everything else is play.

Is there any reason that the study or teaching of the Law
is more difficult than Chemical Engineering or Computer
Programming? It is not a sacred vocation.

You do have to have very special people. Like the lawyers
in Florida and Texas that have billed those States for
billions of dollars for a few months of part time "work".
One hears of the preparations for the Year 2000 by these
pirana. The companies that have built computers or done
software will be lucky to escape with any net worth.

Doesn't the legal establishment have responsibilities that
go along with their access to riches. Don't these lawyers
have a responsibility to make all parts of the legal system
work? Its most important part certainly does not. The latest
Economist describes the scandalous state of the criminal bar
in not assuring the indigent with adequate defence. The
problem, apparently, is that the lawyers want to bill at
their full rates rather than their marginal rates.

As for Krugman, try this out;

web.mit.edu

The article that starts by discussing increasing returns
[and turns into an academic whizzing contest ] is " The Legend
of Arthur" At the end of this article there is a link to an
article on path dependence.

Qwerty is a poor foundation for the legal theory.
