Mitch Kowalski noted that Stanford Law School has recently opened the Stanford Center on the Legal Profession, whose mission includes "research, teaching, programs and public policy initiatives on crucial issues facing the bar" with a focus on "issues of professional responsibility and the structure of legal practice". As Mitch pertinently asks, "where is the Canadian equivalent?"
Indeed. Centres such as the Stanford CLS tend to live or die depending on the dedication, enthusiasm and innovation of the faculty members who initiate and staff them. Which means it's past time to get Jordan Furlong appointed to an academic post somewhere.
UPDATE: Ooops. "Where is the Canadian equivalent?" Here: The Centre for the Legal Profession at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law.
