I don't know why Brian Leiter thinks "Feminist Theory" should be listed as one of my primary subjects. I should think "Property Theory" would be a lot more accurate. Also, I have been teaching Contracts for 6 years now, and I have written a certain amount about it!

Mark Tushnet transferred from Harvard to Harvard?
Posted by: KipEsquire at March 2, 2006 12:43 PM
I guess because you've written some famous papers related to feminist theory, but I'll certainly defer to your judgment about what you do!

I'm a faculty assistant at a law school. Thanks for the list. Now I know that I'm going to have some new faces to learn, and new ways that professors like their documents formatted and their coffee prepared. ;)

Posted by: Anon at March 14, 2006 12:09 PM
I believe Eric Talley and Gillian Lester left USC and UCLA, respectively, for Berkeley.
Posted by: Anon at March 15, 2006 11:21 AM
Daria Roithmayr is leaving Ill for USC
Posted by: ANNON at March 15, 2006 06:39 PM
Great, Michigan finally beefs up their IP presense, but only after I left. Bummer.
Posted by: gvibes at March 15, 2006 07:15 PM
Brian Leiter has reported that Cary Coglianese is moving to Penn from the Kennedy School. Also, I understand Bruce Mann has accepted the position at Harvard.
Posted by: Anon at March 23, 2006 03:12 PM
Actually, I don't think Talley and Lester have formally decamped for Boalt yet.
Posted by: Adam at March 23, 2006 03:32 PM
Andrew Martin, of the political science department of Wash. U. (St. Louis) is joining the law school faculty, as director of a new Law & Politics institute.
Posted by: anon at March 24, 2006 06:38 PM
Yes, Bruce Mann is off to Harvard. Penn students mourn the loss.

Columbia University has also hired Suzanne Goldberg from Rutgers Law School. She will direct a new clinic on gender and sexuality.
While they are not lateral moves, Columbia hired Olati Johnson as a new professor, along with C. Scott Hempill (Stanford Law graduate, Posner/Scalia clerk, Ph.D. candidate in economics from Stanford as well).
