Lateral Moves by Law School Faculty 2006
Newly updated as of August 16. I encourage people to review the list and email me with any missing or erroneous information. It's almost time to start our 2007 list, so I hope to have a final version of this compilation by month's end.

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!
Posted by: Brian Leiter at March 2, 2006 04:02 PM
From Loyola LA to UC Davis:
Lisa Ikemoto
Posted by: Racer X at March 3, 2006 01:05 AM
Philip Hamburger also moved from Chicago to Columbia.
Posted by: Nick at March 3, 2006 12:51 PM
Claire A. Hill (business organizations, behavioral law & economics) has moved from Chicago-Kent to Minnesota
Posted by: Brian at March 3, 2006 02:24 PM
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. ;)

From Cleveland-Marshall to Widener
Linda Ammons (will become dean)
Posted by: Lolita Buckner Inniss at March 3, 2006 06:45 PM
My colleagues Marie Reilly (Bankruptcy, Contracts, Commercial Law) and John Lopatka (Antitrust, Torts) are, unfortunately, leaving South Carolina for Penn State.
Posted by: Ann Bartow at March 4, 2006 11:25 AM
haha a law professor called robert lawless.
Posted by: ashley giles at March 4, 2006 03:02 PM
I believe Jeff Kahn (Tax) is leaving Santa Clara for Penn State-Dickinson.
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.
Posted by: EN at March 24, 2006 08:34 PM
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).
Posted by: Law Student '06 at March 25, 2006 02:38 PM
Keith Aoki, from University of Oregon to UC Davis.
Posted by: Etaoin Shrdlu at April 7, 2006 09:29 AM
South Carolina hires Susan Kuo (criminal law, section 1983) from Northern Illinois and Jack Pratt (legal history) from Notre Dame (will serve a Dean).
Posted by: SC Prof at April 8, 2006 07:41 AM
Jeff Kahn is definitely moving to Penn State Dickinson from Santa Clara.
Posted by: ellen dannin at May 23, 2006 08:22 PM
Carol Rose should definitely be identified as Property as well as Environmental Law.
Posted by: BB at June 1, 2006 12:49 PM
notable that 6 profs left tulane, w/o replacement
Posted by: shamu at August 17, 2006 09:43 AM
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.
But...um, isn't this exactly the typical criticism of a male speaker that a feminist theorist who also specializes in property rights would make?
Posted by: Captain Obvious at August 17, 2006 11:15 AM
Interesting, the number of professors specializing in Law & Economics. Is this a recent trend? In any case, it looks like the interdisciplinary approach is being embraced by a fair number of schools.
Another noteworthy trend: the number of females hired to become law school deans.
Posted by: LM at August 17, 2006 05:25 PM
Joshua Cohen (political philosophy) moved from MIT's departments of philosoph and political science to the law school (and philosophy and political science) at Stanford starting in 2006. Cary Coglianese (admin law) has moved from the Kennedy School at Harvard to Penn Law starting 2006.
Posted by: Matt at August 17, 2006 11:27 PM
Ed Swaine moved from Penn-Wharton to GW.
