NLS review for faculty position

People have got into good PhD programs from NLS. I'm not sure how you would be eligible for a permanent position there without a PhD so am assuming its contractual, in which case leave doesn't make a difference since you'd have to interview for a permanent position again anyway. You need good, credible referees for the PhD. NLS has plenty of those on the faculty, but if you're confident of getting the recommendations you need from elsewhere or even from NLS without joining, then take whatever will help you publish well and put together a good application.

How is NLS as a place to work? I recently interviewed for a faculty position there and the interview went quite well. However, I have now received an offer from another law school (not taking names, don't want to dox myself) and they want a quick response. Is NLS worth the risk of losing this other opportunity? I know only a couple of faculty members at NLS. Both of them are senior and they seem to be very disenchanted with the place and with the VC. But I was wondering if an early career academic like me needs to worry about their concerns. The one thing that gave me a pause was that NLS does not provide UGC leave entitlements, including PhD leave. I hope to apply for a Phd after a few years of working. Should this be a dealbreaker? Could others please weigh in?
