: PrawfsLaw School Hiring Thread, 2009-10, Thread One
By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel
While the first FAR form has not yet been circulated yet, this thread is for both law professors and people who are on the market this coming year for becoming a law professor. We invite those on the market and those who are prawfs to leave comments (anonymously if they prefer) regarding a range of things: a) whether they have received a call from a particular school inviting them to an interview at the AALS meat market, and/or whether they accepted it; also whether the school has asked for a candidate's scholarship yet b) whether they have received a callback from a law school and/or accepted it c) whether they have received an offer from a law school and/or accepted it; feel free to also leave details about the offer or info about teaching loads, research leaves, etc. Law professors may also choose to provide information that is relevant to the entry-level or the lateral market. Bear in mind: if you don't want your contact information displayed, please just enter in anon@anon.edu or something like that as an email address. This post will be moved to the front of the blog once every ten days or so, and we will also try to provide updates in the comments that consolidate the various bits of information here. We hope one of you will volunteer to do the agglomeration work that Marc DeGirolami did last year. If you are looking for links on how to manage going through the job hunt, check out the posts under these three archives:here, here, and here. To get things started: FSU (as of late July) is soon planning on inviting a number of laterals and perhaps rookies to FSU this fall. FSU will be doing a considerable amount of hiring across a wide range of areas.NB: This thread will be moved to the front every few weeks.
