It could be worse. You could be dealing with publishing contracts, which increasingly attempt to tie authors to a single publisher. Forever.

“As academics we are rather free to move around the market; it’s one of those last remaining havens where some employees, specifically the faculty, have job security and mobility.”
You might need to change that to “legal academics.” The majority of undergrad faculty are contingent (mostly adjuncts), and they lack both security and mobility (it’s not very easy to move when you have to secure 2-3 jobs in your new city).

ah, I would tell you but for the NDA clause. I am kidding. I don’t feel strongly opposed to this kind of use of such a clause – I am not being hired as an employee; this is more like a performance by a freelance artist.
