Next semester, I have a trial practice course being taught by a former adjunct, now the school's general counsel who is a named partner in the state's 3rd (or 4th) largest firm.

The other guy teaching that class is the head of the public defender's office for Oklahoma County.

I actually prefer adjuncts. Not only are they good teachers, they're great people to know if you have to find a job after school.
I tend to prefer adjuncts too. Not only are they less caught up in the academy, they don't waste your time by assigning tons of pointless supplements and LR articles. I've had adjuncts who are on the bankruptcy court, named partners in firms, senior partners in firms, judges on state district and appellate courts, etc...it's nice to actually hear about real legal practice sometimes.
