Updated 7/11/13
We're ready to go with this year's list of lateral law professor moves. As always, I've cribbed other lists to get things going. Thanks Brian! I rely on news from all of you to do this thing; please send along information to thefacultylounge@gmail.com. One thing I know for sure: I'll fall behind on the project. Ultimately, though, I hope the list will be pretty complete. (I'm doing my best with this year's dean search list.) I've made the executive decision to exclude from this year's list anyone include in last year's list.
Check out my old lateral move lists as well: 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006.
And shoot, while you're at it, you might remenisce about law school dean searches too: 2011-12, 2010-11, 2009-10, and 2008-09.
And check out the entry level hiring threat at Prawfs.
Update: please note that I have not included faculty who have moved to new schools to become dean. I will cover that in my dean search list.

Law schools train and teach prospective lawyers. As a legal professional, the experience a student acquires before, during and immediately after law school is essential in the attempt to cement a lucrative practice and business. These experiences help to develop a profitable professional network, which comes in handy later on.
