Lawprofblawg on Hierarchies in the Legal Academy

In this episode, Lawprofblawg, an anonymous social media personality and law professor, discusses the article "Law Reviews, Citation Counts, and Twitter (Oh My!): Behind the Curtains of the Law Professor’s Search for Meaning," which was co-authored with Darren Bush and published in the Loyola University Chicago Law Journal. LPB begins by describing the symposium on legal scholarship in the age of social media for which this article was written. LPB continues by observing how the hierarchies of legal academy perpetuate privilege across a range of spectrums, including race, gender, and class. And LPB reflects on how we might be able to mitigate some of those hierarchies and promote a fairer and more egalitarian scholarly community.
