How do you make a career of scholarship? There is no one way. After clerking for a federal court of appeals judge, I taught legal research and writing, and completed a J.S.M. before landing a tenure-track teaching position at a law school. My colleague Benedetta Faedi Duramy practiced law in a firm setting and found her calling while engaged in pro bono work that informed her research for her S.J.D. before teaching. Her unique path, combining practice, pro bono service and scholarly research has led to both a new career in teaching at Golden Gate University School of Law and a compelling, groundbreaking book to be published in April 2014. Recently, I had the opportunity to ask Prof. Faedi Duramy more about her unique journey as lawyer, scholar and professor.
