The distinguished legal and political philosopher Jules Coleman at Yale Law School has accepted an on-going appointment (roughly quarter-time) as Distinguished Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University at New Brunswick, starting next Spring.  This will give Rutgers one of the largest and strongest philosophy of law groups in a Philosophy Department in the U.S.; in addition to Professor Coleman’s part-time appointment, full-time faculty working in whole or in part in philosophy of law include Ruth Chang, Alvin Goldman, and Douglas Husak.  (Two other legal philosophers from the Rutgers-Camden law school–John Oberdiek and Dennis Patterson–are also affilliated members of the Department.)
