I wouldn't expect a school as good as Boalt Hall to hire someone unqualified to teach a basic course like t&e.

In my mind, a professor of a subject at a law school (as opposed to a teaching assistant) qualifies as a scholar of that subject. I admit that I don't have an authorotative definition to cite. If you (or any other readers) have an accepted definition of when a professor of a subject qualifies as a scholar in that subject I would be interested to read it.

My instructor graduated from Boalt Hall, but she was teaching at Washington University (St. Louis) School of Law. She was no more prepared to teach T&E than I would be to teach physics, having taken one required physics lab in college. My point is that teaching a course, even at the law school level, doesn't necessarily mean the instructor should be considered a "scholar." Law school professors are not all that intellectually impressive, believe me! The fawning articles I posted described Clinton as a constitutional scholar. That is not true.
