Legal Commentary

I just returned from the AALS faculty recruitment conference, and I share Michael's general reactions, about the high quality of the candidates and about how strenuous the process can be, on both sides of the recruiting table.

One of my colleagues on the interviewing team had an interesting idea that might improve the process a bit.  Would it be inappropriate for the interviewing school to request that candidates provide photos on their cv's?  This would be a help not just in ensuring that every interviewer accurately distinguishes the candidates ex post (not that big a problem, in my experience), but also in assisting the interviewer's recollection of the details of each interview.

Are there any significant objections to this proposal?  (I have heard that some academic departments outside of law routinely use photo cv's, though I have no first-hand knowledge.)
