Northwestern University School of Law has made an offer to Sai Prakash (securities regulation, public law) at the University of San Diego School of Law.  San Diego (which has beaten Northwestern before, when both were competing for leading law of religious liberty scholar Steven Smith when he was leaving Notre Dame) is apparently making a strong bid to retain Prakash, as it continues its upward climb in to the ranks of the top 20 law faculties in the nation.
