I just did some research on the question: Was Barack Obama ever a Law Professor. I knew I had heard/read before the answer, but I didnt want to post the wrong information: Yes, the University of Chicago released a statement in March 2008 saying Sen. Obama (D-Ill.) served as a professor in the law school. In reality, that is a title Obama -who only taught courses there part-time- never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008. He did not hold the title of Professor of Law, said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law. According to the the highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law, Obama applied for a position as an adjunct and wasnt even considered. But soon afterward, the law school got a phone call from the Board of Trustees telling them to find him an office, put him on the payroll, and give him a class to teach. They said he didnt have to be a member of the faculty, but they needed to give him a temporary position. He was never a professor... and barely an adjunct. The other (real) professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings, and it was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stool. Another Chicago Law professor said that Obama had the lowest intellectual capacity in the building. The same prof expressed serious doubt as to whether BHO was ever legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because if he was, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school (publication is a standard prerequisite for the position). Note: I hope this clears it up for those who question his position.
