Law Faculty Lateral Moves List – 2009

Updated 6/15/09
Those seeking the updated list of law school dean searches can find it here.
Larry Solum's Entry Level Hiring Report 2009 is here.

It's that time of year!   Following in the tradition of my 2008, 2007, and 2006 lists,  here goes the newest aggregation of data on law professor lateral movement.    Brian Leiter noted the other day that this may be a quiet year for school-to-school moves.  We'll see as the season unfolds; my information is remarkably thin at this point.  Please email me with updates to the list.  Send information to: dmf55@drexel.edu – and please make sure to put "Lateral Moves" in the subject line.  This collection is designed to include only full-time, permanent faculty. It does not include VAP's who take their first jobs but does include moves by both tenured and untenured faculty, including those on long-term contracts – such as clinicians.  Thanks to Brian Leiter for his relentless efforts on this front and to all of you who share your knowledge.  And apologies, of course, for the inevitable errors.
