Entry Level Law School Faculty Hiring 2010 - 2011

Now that Larry Solum has decided to give up his annual Entryl Level Hiring Report - though you can still find the archived versions from 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004 - Prawfs has set up an open thread for folks to report new hires here.  That's a great service to all of us who crave this information.  I imagine folks here at the Lounge will also try to help fill Larry's huge shoes by doing a little slicing and dicing of the data that the Prawfs collects.   Time for everyone to report!

I'm curious about rising VAPs or new profs who currently work at firms-- don't some choose to keep their new positions a secret until a couple of months before they begin? I would be afraid the work would dry up and/or I might get laid off once people knew I had accepted another job. (Related question: do new profs try to take the summer off preceding their first semester of teaching in order to prep?)

I chose to keep my VAP secret until a few weeks before I left. I was definitely afraid that the work would dry up and I might get laid off. I don't know if my fear was rational, but that's what I did.

As far as the summer off for new professors, you may be able to negotiate your starting month. My VAP ended at the end of June and the new prof gig in the beginning of July. So I had all summer to prep and write, which made life easier once the semester started.
