Annette Gordon-Reed, the legal historian at New York Law School and the History Department at Rutgers University-Newark, whose work has won a Pulitzer Prize, among other honors, has accepted a senior offer from Harvard Law School. I will guess, though I may be wrong, that this is the first time Harvard Law School has ever hired someone directly from the faculty of New York Law School, indeed, directly from the faculty of any law school not in the top 25 or so in the United States. It's nice to see someone achieve this kind of professional success based on the merits of their work!
