Jim Chen, a prolific and well-known scholar in a diverse array of fields (including administrative, environmental, agricultural, constitutional, and natural resources law, as well as legislation, economic regulation, and industrial policy) at the University of Minnesota Law School, has accepted appointment as Dean of the Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville, effective at the start of the New Year.  The Louisville press release is here.

It will be interesting to see how Professor-turned-Dean Chen applies some of the ideas from his "money law" blog to the institution he will soon be running.
