Mary Crossley Stepping Down From Pitt Law Deanship

Dean Mary Crossley announced, today,  that she is resigning as dean of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, effective July 2012.  She has been dean since 2005.  The law school plans to conduct a search next year with the goal of seamless transition.  I imagine that she'll be a tough act to follow, but (as a correlate) she is creating an attractive vacancy.
