I'm delighted with this outcome.  I should note we had three remarkable finalists, all outstanding, so we were very fortunate indeed.  (A public "thank you" to my colleague Jonathan Masur who led the Dean Search Committee, and did a great job!) 

As Professor Chilton comments in the preceding news release:  "I strongly believe that the University of Chicago Law School is the world’s most academically outstanding and rigorous law school, and it is an extraordinary honor to lead it."  Just yesterday, President Trump wrote about a judicial nominee that she went to "the University of Chicago, one of the best Law Schools in the World."   I assume, with the choice of Professor Chilton, President Trump's future social media messages will drop the "one of" part!
