You’ve gone to college, published your dissertation, and now you’re either on tenure track OR you’ve gotten tenure. What’s life like as a legal scholar? Life of the Law traveled to New Orleans for the Law and Society Association’s annual meeting where more than 2,000 law and social science scholars from across the globe got together to share their work, and on Friday night, personal stories about their lives.

Host Osagie Obasogie, a Law Professor at UC Hastings in San Francisco, and a member of Life of the Law’s Advisory Board takes us to center stage for A Scholar’s Life with stories from…

• Laura Beth Nielsen, Professor and Director of Legal Studies at Northwestern University.
• Javier Couso, a Professor of Law and Director of the Constitutional Law Program at Universidad Diego Portales (Chile).
• Bronwen Morgan, a Professor of Law at UNSW in Australia and an Australian Research Council Future Fellow.
• Jamie Longazel, an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Dayton and a Research Fellow with the Human Rights Center.
• Bernadette Atuahene, a Professor of Law at the Chicago-Kent College of Law at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
• Tom Tyler, the Macklin Fleming Professor of Law and Professor of Psychology at Yale Law School.
