Quote
of
the
Day
.


When
I
was
27
and
had
just
started
the
tenure
track,
I
came
out
of
my
classroom,
and
another
tenured
professor
said,
‘What
are
you
doing
in
there?
It
sounds
like
a
comedy
club.’
I
think
back
and
wonder,
‘What
jokes
was
I
telling?’

a
stand-up
comedian
who
was
previously
employed
as
an
associate
at
Fried
Frank
and
a
tenured
professor
at
Hofstra
Law,
reflecting
on
her
career
during
an
interview
with
the

ABA
Journal
.
“I
went
to
law
school
because
my
parents
had
this
mentality
that
no
one
could
take
your
education
from
you,”
she
joked.
“I’m
like,
‘Does
anyone
want
it?’”
