FWIW, Livingston & Lynch are both listed as full-time faculty at CLS. They also both teach classes both semesters (Lynch taught 1L Civ Pro this year, Livingston usually teaches Crim Investigations, and they co-teach an appellate advocacy seminar). I'd assume they're getting paid well. Sullivan adjuncts, so probably less for him.Wild Card wrote:https://www.law.com/nationallawjournal/ ... 0412160913Anonymous User wrote:Ya, this seems incredibly high. If I remember correctly I've seen disclosures for other federal judges adjuncting, and it was more in the $5,000-$25,000 range even at top schools. I suppose anything is possible with NYU, which has lots of money to splash around o faculty, but I'm shocked if it is anywhere near that. You'd think ever judge on the eastern seaboard would be angling for a job.Wild Card wrote:
Anon who got his/her hopes up probably went to Columbia, where Livingston adjuncts for $$$$$ every year. One would hope that she hires at least one CLS alum per year. I say this as a grad of NYU, which shells out $300,000+ of tuition bucks per judge to a huge bench of adjuncting federal judges.
I misspoke: it's probably only Edwards and GInsburg (D.C. Cir.) who make that much (i.e., $200K), and they used to or currently teach 1 full-credit seminar per semester. Katzmann and Lohier also teach at NYU, but they teach half-credit seminars only once a year, so they likely make a lot less than $200K.
All three hire CLS clerks, Livingston usually 1 a year, although as noted previously their hires tend to be very top of class with a lot of support. All also take CLS externs (along with a few other CA2 judges).
Bottom line for clerkships (speaking from personal experience - hence anon), the CLS connection seems to help a bit, but given who they end up hiring unclear how much of a bump it really is.
