I fear that I am setting off on a fool's errand, but here goes... As many of you have discovered by now, I am a fan off data aggregation. And I see one use for this blog as a site to gather law faculty news. A couple of professor friends have suggested that there would be value in assembling a list of full-time law faculty who will be on the road as visiting professors next year. Independently, there is probably substantial value in identifying those individuals who will be serving as Visiting Assistant Professors (VAP's) next year prior to obtaining their first full-time job in the academy.
Here's the rub. Unlike the situation with both lateral moves, and dean searches, I don't have enough independent knowledge to present a credible first cut at these lists. Paul Caron has a list of tax profs and Paul Secunda one of workplace profs who will be on visits next year - and that's a good start. But I'll need much more help. So this is my offer: if readers send me information about visitors - full-timers and VAP's - I will create and post the respective lists. Send the info to danielmfiller@gmail.com
