Lippe Responds to "Snarky" Law Prof Comments to His Law School 4.0 Article

Paul Lippe's reports that he received 50-plus responses to his June 22 article, Welcome to the Future: Time for Law School 4.0. Most, he writes "were quite favorable, including from law school deans and faculty; a few were snarky and dismissive. The snarky comments all came from law professors, boiling down to 'Who are you?' 'Nothing new,' 'Not enough footnotes to be a law review article,' and, most terrifyingly, 'Go away, we have a committee that will be meeting on this in the fall.'"

Lippe adds, "I was tempted to ... urge the snarky professors to 'get a life.' Instead, let me try to be a good Web 2.0 citizen and use the criticism to become analytically sharper and hopefully more constructive," which is he does in Welcome to the Future: Law School 4.0, Part Two on the AmLaw Daily.
