Want
to
know
the
best
thing
about
fumbling
a
cold
call?
No
matter
how
scary
the
teacher
seems
to
be,
it
isn’t
like
the
judge
who
wrote
the
damned
case
will
be
there
to
tell
you
that
you
couldn’t
spot
the
issues.
Unless,
of
course,
you
plan
on
taking
Con
Law
at
one
of
the
schools
below.
Spokesman
has
coverage:
Longtime
Supreme
Court
Justice
Barbra
Madsen
will
teach
state
constitutional
law
at
Gonzaga
School
of
Law
and
Seattle
University
School
of
Law
after
retiring
in
April.“I’m
really
excited
about
teaching
law,
particularly
state
constitutional
law,
since
I’ve
written
so
many
of
the
opinions,”
Madsen
said.
“I
feel
like
it’s
a
natural
for
me.”
If
you
needed
some
extra
motivation
to
read
the
case
before
class,
there
you
go!
For
what
it’s
worth,
she
won’t
be
in
the
classroom
until
next
year.
You
lucked
out,
soon-to-be
2Ls.
Future
1Ls,
prepare
to
hit
the
books.
It
really
is
a
treat
to
have
one
of
the
justices
teaching
an
opinion
they
helped
pen
or
dissented
against.
For
one,
they
should
know
what
they’re
talking
about.
Second,
it’s
a
great
chance
to
get
a
behind-the-scenes
look
at
the
process
of
writing
opinions
and
balancing
ideologies
on
the
court
that
you’d
usually
only
get
clerking
for
a
judge.
Just
be
sure
to
ask
pointed
follow-up
questions
in
class
or
in
office
hours!
And
while
it
might
not
come
up
directly
because
of
Con
Law
readings,
you
may
also
want
to
get
her
opinions
on
access
to
justice
issues.
