Some of my previous posts challenged law school deans, admissions officers and faculty members who live in denial about the crisis in legal education. This time, I celebrate a law professor who sees things as they are and isn’t afraid to speak truth to power.

Before joining the faculty at the University of North Carolina, professor Bernard Burk was an academic fellow at Stanford. Prior to that, he spent 25 years in private practice at a firm that eventually merged with Arnold & Porter. We don’t agree on everything, but Burk’s three-part series published on the Faculty Lounge blog about law, culture and academia culminates in a June 30, 2014, post that earns him my latest “Commendable Comment Award.”
