Great news for the folks at George Washington Law. They've named Wake Forest Law Dean Blake Morant as their new dean. Moran, who holds a JD from the University of Virginia, has led Wake Forest for the past seven years. Before that, he was on the Washington and Lee faculty. He is also the President-Elect of the AALS.
Blake is one of my favorite people that I've met over years in academia. The GW law faculty will like having him as their dean and I imagine that the broader community – students and alumni, for example – will be equally pleased.
Congratulations to Blake and GWU. We'll miss you in North Carolina!
This is great news. Congratulations, Blake!
