A List Of Current Law School Dean Searches

By Dan Filler

Moved to the top May 5 with additions and modifications.  As always, I encourage readers to provide any additional information.

A couple of months ago, a colleague from another law school suggested I start a new list: a compilation of all current law school dean searches.  This seems like a great idea, particularly since blogs have turned into excellent ways for faculty exchange information on law school hiring.  In that spirit, I am hereby soliciting any and all information on current law school searches.  I'll start with the few I am aware of (though corrections are always encouraged and invited.)   Note that some of these searches are at late stages, and others are very much in progress.  (Big thanks to Brian Leiter for finalist info which I've included here.)  Update: I will add have been adding additional information as it comes in to create the most accurate list possible.  Based on Rob Kar's good suggestion, I will also link to the job postings where I have them.
