Dilemma of drugs on campus; do law students get quiet counseling - or reported to the bar?
Article Abstract:
An Assn of American Law Schools (AALS) study conducted during the late 1980s found that substance abuse by law school students and faculty is widespread. However, students who seek help from their law schools have no guarantee of confidentiality when their fitness to practice law is certified upon graduation. Approximately 1/3 of the schools responding to the AALS study said nothing in their drug policies about confidentiality. Some states are addressing the problem by conditional admission to the bar of those with drug problems.

His ex-students say Bill Clinton was good, if a little distracted
Article Abstract:
Bill Clinton's ex-students and former colleagues give him high marks for his teaching at the University of Arkansas' Leflar Law Center in Fayetteville, where he and his then-fiancee Hilary Rodham were faculty members between 1973 and 1976. Morton Gittleman recalls that Clinton's credentials as Yale Law School alumnus and former Rhodes Scholar made the decision to hire him easy. There is a consensus that Clinton showed no signs of wanting to make law teaching a career and that his main interest was politics.
