Law students don’t do research that furthers their university. Grad students participate in research that often is funded by outside sources. They bring the university profit so they themselves should get their wage like any employee for doing so.

So instead of asking why should grad student researchers get paid because law students done, you should ask why don’t law students get paid for their work that profits their school?

Law students write journal articles that become “decisive” for future SCOTUS cases?

Would love to see three of those if you can provide any.

Law students do edit a lot of shit that professors write for journals…but the student written notes aren’t really changing the world or advancing the profession in any meaningful way.

Right, but you can say the same thing for high level grad research. Plus grad research gets funding.

Because they teach full courses and work so much for BU. From research labor to TAing to their teaching commitments. LAW students don’t have those commitments.

Because they work. In many instances grad students are considered employees of their university.
