But before going into this, it's worth asking why we should even care what law professors think. Or at least why people who are not themselves lawyers, law students, or law professors should care. Second, law professors can influence the views of law students, who - of course - go on to be the next generation of lawyers. For all these reasons, Martinez and Tobia's findings on the views of law professors are potentially significant. But that makes it all the more striking that so few respondents support originalism even in this attenuated sense.
