    Many law faculty become involved in service in their professional associations and in other groups where their legal expertise is called upon. In addition, it is not uncommon for such faculty to take leaves from academe to provide formal public service by holding appointive office. In this session, the recent experiences of two highly-visible law deans who have undertaken public service will discuss the circumstances that led to their appointments (one following an elected state official’s resignation due to a scandal, and the other a more-traditional appointment to federal service), the nature of their engagement, and the appropriate role of faculty in engaging in this type of Academic Duty.
