Anon 10:34 - law faculties are significantly more expensive than ordinary professors, since they theoretically could go get well-compensated private sector jobs (although they'd never want something so demanding and practical; most now are unsullied by law firm experience, going from clerkship to fellowship to professorship).
Also, if you ever doubt the uselessness of the modern law prof, remember this - the journals are student run. Law students (especially Law Reviewers) being prestige-obsessed they tend to care more about the name on the piece than the content within, leading to sclerotic and incestuous scholarship.
