One of the better articles I've seen on law school teaching comes from Professor Wendel at Cornell. The approach taken in the article is to present that this is a very difficult field to enter, but with a certain lighthearted tone so that those of us without Ivy League degrees don't go away crying.

Not that long ago, in attempting to burnish my resume, I was shopping around a scholarly article I'd written. The tepid reception I received from law reviews is somewhat explained by the article. The clueless reception from the one journal in my academic field that I tried isn't, but maybe they were just dazzled by my use of footnotes.
