Clinicians have to think about scholarship (depending on where they end up) — many schools have them on the traditional tenure track and even those on an advancement track also write law review scholarship.

Another great interview. NYU seems to stand out in that a significant number take non doctrinal positions. It would be interesting to know how much of that is by choice (did not even apply to aals?) or how much is driven by necessity. Some of the NYU people who have went into administration or legal writing may have went into those fields because they struck out on the tenure track market or had limited geographic options forcing them to make those choices.
I don’t know why anyone looking to go into administration would need the lawyering program. Also it seems an enormous time and financial burden for those interested in legal writing to do a fellowship. At what point is it necessary to take the time and financial hit to do a 2-3 year fellowship and work on scholarship for a non doctrinal position? why worry at all about scholarship if going into admin or legal writing or clinical for that matter? It goes to a programs placement record if these outcomes are driven by necessity rather than choice at the outset
