Dear S.J. Quinney College of Law Community,
The Dean Search Committee is extremely pleased to announce the candidates who will be coming to Salt Lake City in January for formal interviews (in alphabetical order):
* Jim Chen, James L. Krusemark Professor and Associate Dean, University of Minnesota Law School (B.A., M.A., Emory; J.D., Harvard).
* Hiram Chodosh, Joseph C. Hostetler-Baker & Hostetler Professor and Associate Dean, Case Western Reserve Law School (B.A. Wesleyan, J.D. Yale).
* Jeremy Paul, Thomas F. Gallivan Professor and Associate Dean, University of Connecticut School of Law (A.B. Princeton, J.D. Harvard).
* William Sage, Professor of Law, Columbia University School of Law (currently visiting at University of Texas) (A.B. Harvard, J.D., M.D., Stanford).
* Gary Simson, Professor of Law, former Associate Dean, Cornell Law School (B.A., J.D., Yale).
The curriculum vitae for each of these candidates will be at the reserve desk at the S.J. Quinney Law Library and on our dean search website at http://www.law.utah.edu/events/deansearch.html within the next few days.
(Staff illnesses and some technological issues are delaying publication of some of this material.)
Interviews will be conducted beginning January 17, 2006, and continuing through the end of the month. We will provide opportunities for all law school constituencies to meet each of the candidates, with details to follow. The process from here contemplates submission of two or three final candidates to Senior Vice-President Pershing for his selection.
Again, we are very excited about how the search is proceeding, and look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at interview-related events in January. Meanwhile, please feel free to contact any of us with questions or input regarding the search.
