To see what the professors actually earn, you have to multiply that salary you see by their FTE (fraction of full-time employment), which you can see when you click on their names. The salary represents what they would earn if they had a full-time, year-round appointment, which most of the adjunct faculty don't. So the top earner, listed at 1.2 million, was actually paid 38 thousand by the university. Law professors are compensated handsomely, but those numbers at the top are very misleading.
