Congratulations to Robert Post and Yale Law School!

By Alfred Brophy

ADVERTISEMENTS

Post_finkin_common_good What great news that Robert Post is the new dean of Yale Law School!  Many congratulations to Dean Post and to Yale, too.  They're most foruntate to have one another.  We'd been hearing these rumors for a while.

I've been meaning to write a little bit about Post's important and terrific new book on academic freedom (co-authored with Matt Finkin), For the Common Good.  Lots to talk about there and it's really heartening that someone of Post's humanity is leading Yale Law School.  

This may slow down the appearance of Post's much-anticipated tenth volume of the Oliver Wendell Holmes Devise History of the Supreme Court, Constitutional Rights and the Regulatory State, 1921?30.  However, legal historians' temporary loss is most definitely the academy's gain.

And, I might add, this caps off a fabulous year for legal historians and deanships: Davison Douglas at William and Mary, Bruce Smith at Illinois, and now Robert Post at Yale.   (And I'd also add this is great news for Harvard's History of American Civilization Program.)
