Dennis Patterson (legal philosophy, commercial law), Board of Governors Professor of Law and Philosophy at Rutgers University School of Law in Camden, will take up the Chair in Legal Theory at the European University Institute in Florence for a five-year period.  (Appointments at the EUI are always for defined terms.)  During that time, he will continue to teach in the summers at Rutgers and will, presumably, return to his post at Rutgers at the end of his term in the Legal Theory Chair.
