From the Editors


   This issue includes articles, conference transcripts, and book reviews that
date to 2oi9. The woeful delay is solely the result of our own editorial failure,
and we wish to apologize on behalf of thejournal to our readers and to the many
contributing authors who put their trust in us. Rest assured that procedures
have  been established to prevent reoccurrence of such unacceptable time
lags. But do know  that we appreciate having fallen far short of professional
standards in this instance.
   The delay we caused means that although the articles and transcripts were
up  to date as of 2oco, the articles may neglect later events or subsequent
relevant scholarship. The authors bear no fault for such omissions as their
works were current through the time publication was expected.
   The issue begins with four articles that get to the heart of the work done by
law professors. Leading off, Professor NancyEhrenreich's contribution, Wen
Professors Get in Iheir Own Way: Law 77aching andAcademic Perfectionism, describes the
problem  of perfectionism and suggests ways to escape its deadly grip. In Ffty
More Ways to Promote Scholarship Within a Law School Community, professors Steven
Wilf and Jeremy  Paul provide concrete advice on how to foster a community
of scholars. Professor Lindsay Gustafson's article, The Compounding Effects of
Assessment: How Our Failure to Coordinate FormativeAssessments May Impact Their Validity,
aims  to assist law professors in the development of coordinated formative
assessment systems that can fairly and accurately evaluate students. Finally, in
their article, Learning Outcomes that Law Schools Have Adopted: Seizing the Opportunity
to Help Students and Clients, professors Neil Hamilton and Jerry Organ give a
series of suggestions on how law schools can implement competency-based
education.
   The  issue then transitions to the transcripts from five panels that were
part of the Fourth National  People of Color  (NPOC)   Legal Scholarship
Conference, which took place at American University Washington College of
Law  in March 2019. Each of the panels featured leading scholars engaged in
meaningful conversations. The insights from these panels should be of interest
to people throughout the legal academy. The panels included in this issue are:
*  How  to Become a Full-Time Law Professor-A Workshopfor Aspirants. Moderated by
   Professor Alfreda Robinson, with the following professors and panelists:
   Larry Cati Backer, Craig Konnoth,  Melinda  Molina, and Anita Sinha.
 * So You Want to Publish a Book? Moderated by Professor Suzanne Kim, with
   the following professors and panelists: Steven W. Bender, Susan Carle,
   AngelaJ. Davis, Clara Platter, and Katheryn Russell-Brown.
