School And Only WIth A JD? *** Don't let the question fool you; this is a topic for the Careers Section***

I am a prospective university lecturer in business management, so I know about this stuff.

Usually to be a university lecturer in law or in business, you need a masters degree AND 5-to-10 years of experience in the field.

Obama was hired to lecture in law at the University of Chicago RIGHT OUT OF law school. AND Obama only has a undergraduate degree in Political Science and a first degree in Law. He has no master's degree.

How did he not have to meet the "usual" qualifications? I Heard that it was because he was the first Black President of the Harvard Law Review, so Chicago wanted him on their faculty, but I'm not sure.
