As for ease of staffing, I'd refer you to my other post today (location, location, location.) The University of Chicago - a great school in an amazing city - can nab business clinic faculty with these credentials. Many hiring chairs aren't so lucky.

Moreover, you noted that "As a hiring chair, I might have trouble finding business lawyers looking to leave their million dollar practices for jobs on the clinical tenure track..." Really? Have you look at the Institute for Justice's <a href="http://clinic.ij.org/entrepreneurs/body.shtml" rel="nofollow">entrepreneurial clinic</a>? The clinic seems to be doing rather well at the <a href="http://www.law.uchicago.edu/academics/justice_clinic_entrepreneurship.html" rel="nofollow">University of Chicago</a>.
