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!

KipEsquire - March 2, 2006 at 12:43 pm
Mark Tushnet transferred from Harvard to Harvard?
Brian Leiter - March 2, 2006 at 4:02 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.
Lolita Buckner Inniss - March 3, 2006 at 6:45 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.
Adam - March 23, 2006 at 3:32 pm
Actually, I don’t think Talley and Lester have formally decamped for Boalt yet.
anon - March 24, 2006 at 6:38 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.
EN - March 24, 2006 at 8:34 pm
Yes, Bruce Mann is off to Harvard. Penn students mourn the loss.
Law Student '06 - March 25, 2006 at 2:38 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).

Jeff Kahn is definitely moving to Penn State Dickinson from Santa Clara.
BB - June 1, 2006 at 12:49 pm
Carol Rose should definitely be identified as Property as well as Environmental Law.
shamu - August 17, 2006 at 9:43 am
notable that 6 profs left tulane, w/o replacement
Captain Obvious - August 17, 2006 at 11:15 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?
LM - August 17, 2006 at 5:25 pm
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.
Matt - August 17, 2006 at 11:27 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.
Anon - August 18, 2006 at 2:11 am
Ed Swaine moved from Penn-Wharton to GW.
Jack S. - September 11, 2006 at 12:50 pm
Prof. Collins might be moving to UVA, but he’s physically still at Tulane for the moment.
