Law Professors as Free Agents

Larry Ribstein links to the latest round of posts on the rather silly topic of whether we ought to worry about law professors behaving as free agents and, if so, what we ought to do about it. My answers: Don’t worry, be happy, but if you want to keep law professors from jumping ship offer a defined benefit retirement plan structured so that folks who stay forever do best. I know UCLA’s defined benefit plan is one of the things I like best about my current job.
