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.

What exciting news!
