Personal details |
From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996.
He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application.
The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching.

Several similar items have been circulated during or since the 2008 U.S.
Adams struggled at the beginning of his law career. It took him almost three years after opening his practice to win a case in front of a jury.
Jefferson was considered one of the nation’s best-read lawyers when he entered the Virginia Bar.
Monroe studied law under Thomas Jefferson, who later ended up being Monroe’s mentor and friend.
Having a famous name doesn’t always help. Adams practiced law in Boston but had a hard time building his practice, even though his father was the Vice President at the time.
Not all lawyers make a lot of money right away. When Jackson began practicing law, he had to supplement his income by working in various general stores in the towns he lived in.
Because Van Buren’s parents couldn’t afford to send him to law school, he decided to get a job as a clerk in a law office and study law independently.
Fillmore taught himself to read by studying – and even stealing – as many books as he could get his hands on. Even though he had little education, Fillmore was admitted to the New York Bar at 23 years of age.
Lie one: Obama was never a professor; he was a lecturer. He did not have the qualifications to be a professor. Obama never published a single law paper. He was hired by the University of Chicago when they learned he had been given a book contract on race and law directly after graduating from Harvard.
Here's what 'constitutional scholar' Obama really taught at law school. Among the lies about himself Obama consistently repeats is that he was a constitutional law professor. Lie one: Obama was never a professor; he was a lecturer. He did not have the qualifications to be a professor. Obama never published a single law paper.
Obama was not capable of writing, and eventually, after failing to deliver, he changed it to a memoir, which he also struggled with. Finally, he asked Bill Ayers to write his memoir for him, using tapes that Michelle dropped off at the Ayerses'.
Adam Gross, now a public interest lawyer in Chicago, wrote in his class notes in April 1994. In what even some fans saw as self-absorption, Mr. Obama's hypothetical cases occasionally featured himself. "Take Barack Obama, there's a good-looking guy," he would introduce a twisty legal case.
