I’m not talking about its much-improved USNews.com rank, which may help with student recruitment, but doesn’t mean anything. I’m talking about the faculty hiring bonanza that has seen the recruitment in recent years of William Sage (health law) from UT Austin, Neil Siegel (constitutional law) from Duke and, most recently, Larry Solum (constitutional law & theory, legal theory) from Virginia–to name only the most high-profile laterals–as well as excellent junior hires, including just this year, two outstanding Fellows from Chicago (Martinez and Petrov), who together put the school on the map in the law & cognitive science/psychology, broadly speaking. Kudos to Dean Bobby Ahdieh and the entire faculty there.
