Martha Minow New Dean Of Harvard Law School

Martha Minow, a Harvard Law professor since 1981, has just been named the Dean of Harvard Law.  She replaces Elana Kagan.  She is a Yale Law School graduate.  Her bibliography is here.    Sorry Rutgers-Newark...this just wasn't your year.  Based on polling data compiled by Brian Leiter, Harvard got this one right.  (This poll does force me to ask the question: would John Sexton have accepted the position if it had been offered to him?  I doubt it.   President of Harvard University?  That's another matter...) 

On a separate note, Brian has a particularly interesting post entitled Thoughts on Anonymity and Pseudonymity in Cyberspace.  Worth reading if you've ever been vexed by the issue of anonymous blogging and commenting.
