It's my pleasure to announce that Bob Strassfeld of Case-Western University's law school is stepping into the faculty lounge to sit with us for a spell. Bob is well-known in these parts because he is a frequent commenter here, especially on posts related to property and legal history. He is known to the rest of the academy as a scholar of labor law, international relations, and legal history. Cribbing now from his webpage:
Before joining the faculty in 1988, Mr. Strassfeld clerked for Judge Harrison L. Winter of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and then practiced for three years at the Washington, D.C. firm, Shea & Gardner. Mr. Strassfeld teaches Torts, Federal Courts, Labor Law, and Legal History. He has published articles on theoretical aspects of causation in the George Washington and Fordham law reviews and on law and the Vietnam War in the Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Duke law reviews. He is coauthor of Understanding Labor Law. His current research includes continuing work on the legal history of the Vietnam War and a history of African American lawyers in Cleveland.
I'm very much looking forward to Bob's posts!
Welcome to the Lounge, Bob!
