| Leiter is arrogant and an elitist, even by law professor standards. To be fair, I've been told he's moderated some recently, so maybe he'll continue this trend at UC.
I can't comment on his position in philosophy, but I can tell you that his position on teaching primarily (or only) the philosophy of law at "elite" law school and basically expecting the graduates to just figure out things like codes, rules and procedure because they are smart is laughable in its absurdity to nearly anyone that actually practices law. If he wants to be a philosophy professor, that's fine, but don't criticize law schools for teaching students how to be a lawyer. |
