After years of Law School I'm burned out on the idea of practice.

I know you need practice experience to be a JD Prof, but anyone know of any other programs that will take someone with a JD as a Prof "fresh off the boat"?

(just no snot nosed kids, if they can't vote they ain't people in my mind)

Or just Academia in general if I had to. I just don't want to practice.

Try using the search function--there's been conversations like this before. From what I remember hearing: Most universities want PhDs, but you might have options at community college and high schools.

Don't most Community College Prof's have just a community college AA and an online BA anyways?

Many have PhDs, and I think the trend is going in that direction. What do you think happens to all the humanities PhDs out there? There isn't enough universities to take them all.

Academia generally requires PhD's, not as a matter of policy, but just because (most) everyone who is in the pipeline for these jobs has or is in the process of earning a PhD. So occasionally, you will have non-PhD's in university level academia, but it's probably quite rare.

What do you want to teach?

Actually, my school is in need of someone who has a JD to take over their Associate degree paralegal program. The previous head of the program passed away a few months ago, leaving the school with only 1 attorney to teach, they have to have 2 in order to keep their ABA approval. Ithink I heard they are offering 75k a year. I doubt you would be interested, but, thought I would let you know.
