[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe HYS grads are just turning away from soul-crushing stints in Big Law and going on to get PhDs (needed to become a professor at top law schools - most of whom have JDs from HYS) or going in house right away at tech start ups that offered greater deferred compensation. In any event, COVID-times make the job numbers everywhere wonky.[/quote]

I have yet to know an HYS law grad now teaching at a top law school who also has a PhD. Not one and I know more than a few.[/quote]

I’m not a lawyer (I have a PhD and am idly clicking through recent topics), but even I know a Harvard law grad/Yale PhD who is a prof at Northwestern in IP law (not sure if Northwestern counts as a top law school though?). The pay was reportedly not big-law amazing, but (from the outside) it appears to be a really sweet gig.[/quote]

I graduated from YLS in 99.  There are several of my fellow graduates who are law professors now.  I can think of a couple that have joint PhDs.  I think that was considered a solid way to go straight to academia, but the majority got there with an appellate clerkship followed by a highish profile job and some publishing.  [/quote]
