Hi all, I currently attend HYS, and will work at WRLK this summer. I'm on a secondary journal, but have no interest in writing a note. Was wondering how hard it would be down the line to become a full-time professor.
I'd be open to getting an advanced degree (LLM, SJD) and I'm aware the publishing opportunities that some of those programs provide. Is that enough? Will a decent school (read: T1) hire me with a fairly prestigious background (at least as an adjunct to start) with the understanding that if I do well I'll get full time work?

Do not apply for adjunct positions unless you are willing to forego future tenure-track opportunities. Law profs can be a judgey bunch, and they often see adjuncting as a sign that you don't take yourself seriously.
Not having law school publications isn't a big deal. Not having any publications, however, is no bueno.
