Lost in light vacation blogging was this news item: Dean Christopher Edley of the University of California – Berkeley School of Law will step down at year's end. He is taking medical leave immediately. He has been dean for nine years and his term as dean was set to end next year. Professor Gillian Lester will serve as acting dean as the school searches for its next leader.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chris.
Two words: John Yoo.
What does John Yoo have to do with this?
