1/ Some years ago, long before #COVID19, I suggested that law school classes ought to move online as MOOCs. https://t.co/hgl1Lh0H11 I would have thought that the pandemic was an ideal opportunity to revisit that idea. But everybody seems to want to go back to "normal."

2/ I suppose the advantage of "normality" is that it helps preserve the barriers to entry thrown up by the bar exam, ABA accreditation, and so on. If you regard that as an advantage. But if it were allowed, I would be perfectly happy to go on line and compete for students.

3/ Students have gotten used to watching video lectures. Why not let them vote with their dollars and pick the lecturer they most want to hear? And spare me all that "but what about the Socratic method" nonsense. It's crap. https://t.co/VIZ2PBq17g
