Movers & Shakers Part II: Departures

Who will be leaving Boalt next year, either temporarily or permanently? So far we know:

Rumor has it that Jan Vetter is retiring.

Ian Haney-Lopez, who apparently likes to plan ahead, will be at NYU in Fall '09 and HLS in Spring '10, per his CV.

Gillian Lester and Eric Talley will be visiting at HLS all next year.
Lester will be teaching Employment Law at Harvard in Spring '09. Talley will be teaching: Corporate Finance in Fall '08, and Corporate Law and Finance Seminar and Corporations in Spring '09.

Professor Howard Shelanski will be teaching Telecommunications Law at Georgetown in Fall '08, and teaching Antitrust in High-Tech Industries and Antitrust Law at NYU in Spring '09.

Sklansky is presumably outta here (no official word on whether he'll be at Harvard, but we suspect that's the case).

No word on what's up with Professor Linda Krieger, who visited at Harvard last year is currently listed as a member of the Univ. of Hawaii faculty.

And of course, Dean Ortiz will be leaving us for UC-Irvine.

Also of note:
Professor Aaron Edlin taught Antitrust Law at Harvard for the Winter Term '08, and Jesse Fried taught Law and Finance of Corporate Reorganizations at Harvard for the Winter Term '08 (though both are teaching at Boalt in Fall '08).

Who else do you know of who's leaving Boalt next year?

EDIT: [updates in bold]

I think I heard that Vetter was retiring, so I suppose that's leaving Boalt (in a permanent way).

OT: Admin law is now being offered for the Fall semester. Bamberger, MTh 2:00-4:00.

I think Krieger is now permanantly settled in Hawaii. I don't know why she is still listed as faculty at Boalt.

Hawaii?!

Professor Krieger currently teaches Civil Procedure, Employment Discrimination Law, and a law and policy research seminar.

LIES.

My bad - sorry!

Linda Krieger: Permanant faculty at U of Hawaii: http://www.hawaii.edu/law/site-content/faculty-staff/faculty-administration-profiles/faculty/linda-h-krieger/index.html

She is not listed as teaching at Boalt this semester. Can someone confirm the above posting that she is here and teaching? Perhaps she has a dual appointment.

The only classes I really want to take next semester is Admin Law, Corporations, and Civ Pro II.

Which is great, because they all conflict with one another.

In the same vein, here are some courses that are being offered in the Fall but not in the Spring:

Admin Law
Advanced Legal Research

Re: Sklansky-- nothing on HLS's course catalog indicates that he's going to be there. Would it be naive to have hope?

Overheard this afternoon: Sklansky is coming home to Boalt in the fall.

this old news is fascinating, but N&B has a new and exciting news on telebears times.

Anonymous posts at 11:33, and Armen posts in the comments on N&B at 11:40. Coincidence?

Nice work over at N&B but those incomprehensible PDFs that Patrick drew up trying to impress everyone with his statistical know-how are giving me a headache.

harvard has the most active visiting program in the country, and nowhere near half of those professors are offered jobs. so i don't think a mass exodus is occurring.

why don't we get a more active visiting prof program? it would be nice to get some of the big name profs in here for a semester or two. We draw them in with our great location and awesome student body and let their home institution pick up the tab.

Jesse Fried has a permanent offer from Columbia. Goodwin Liu has an offer to visit Harvard.

Did you get that info about Sklansky from a credible source?

It would be so awesome if Sklansky ended up coming home to Boalt.

11:48, it was from a student. I don't know who they heard it from.

Hearsay upon hearsay!

On the flip side, Mark Geren has been hired by Boalt.

YAY! Me wonders if he will teach more than first-year K.

Dean S. mentioned before that they had made an offer to Alta Charo. Doesn't look like that's happening.

http://leiterlawschool.typepad.com/leiter/2008/04/another-signifi.html

"Alta Charo, a leading scholar in bioethics and health law at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, has turned down a joint appointment with the Law School and School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. That's especially significant for Wisconsin, which has made law, science & technology a focus for continued development as a center of excellence."

Movers/Shakers overall:

Also a "David Oppenheimer" is visiting us in the Fall from Golden Gate.

Anyone have a clue what he'll be teaching? Employment Law?

His bio says he does civpro as well, so maybe he'll be slotted into one of the three still-TBA 1Ls classes.
