Taking the Long View

摘要

As legal studies faculty, we need to take the long view in our academic and professional lives. Of course, John Maynard Keynes supposedly noted that in the long run we are all dead. We do not need to take quite that long a view. Taking the long view would seem to be a cliched piece of advice, but too frequently we, like our students, get focused on meeting the next short-term hurdle-getting through the next class, grading the next stack of papers, making it through the next advising appointment, making the next conference paper deadline, or (God forbid) making it through the next committee meeting.
