For the average overworked attorney in the corporate world, going to work as in-house counsel at a college or university probably sounds like a terrific opportunity. The chance to return to an idyllic campus, surrounded by faculty and students committed to higher learning, seems peaceful and relaxing compared with toiling away in cubicles and conference rooms. And what could be so difficult about practicing law in the ivory tower? The occasional commercial transaction or tenure dispute?
Going back to school might sound like a walk on the quad for an in-house counsel, but the truth is that it can be quite challenging. The sheer range of issues that a university in-house counsel has to deal with can be staggering: labor and employment law, intellectual property, environmental law, tax law, real estate and regulatory compliance—the list goes on.
