Law School Dean Searches, 2009-10 Edition

By Dan Filler

I'm going to get started a bit earlier this year in creating a list of law schools currently doing a dean search.   In light of this week's announcement out of the University of Chicago, it appears that one position has just closed and another opened.  Such is the merry-go-round!  I've listed the schools I know are, or believe will be, searching for a dean this year.  As always, feel free to share additional information directly with me.   I'll add finalists as they surface.  For now, I've included the name of current and/or interim dean, as (easily) available, as well as links to search committee information.

Capital (Dean Jack Guttenberg stepping down June 2010)

Case Western Reserve (R0bert Rawson, a Jones Day partner, interim dean) (search committee here)
