Lateral Moves Update

Now that we're hitting the  AALS deadlines, I'm hearing a bit more about lateral law school faculty moves.  We're seeing multiple hires at two major state universities: Maryland and Utah.  The updated list is here.

Not sure why you focused on Maryland and Utah. Alabama has more lateral hires (at four) than either.

@ Roll Tide,

Dan's earlier list included Alabama's four hires already, while the Maryland and Utah hires are new to this iteration of the list.

Anyway, I join you in congratulating Alabama.

Roll Tide!

Seattle has some tough losses here. Their losses are Alabama's gain it seems.

Saint Louis has lost (at least) six, though only two are identified as of now.

Maybe the SLU defection will be stemmed by the interim dean's resignation today: http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2013/03/04/slu-law-school-dean-quits/

[Eric Muller]

Someone who says he doesn't want to be "Father Biondi's butt boy" probably doesn't belong in a dean's office, even on an interim basis.
