REPOSTING THIS AT THE TOP WITH, UPDATES
Various prospective law students have e-mailed indicating they value this information, so with decision time drawing near, let me give a summary that reflects, to the best of my knowledge, where things stand. Please e-mail me with corrections or additions. I list only tenured offers, though most hiring in any given year is at the tenure-track or "junior" level. A complete list of lateral hiring by the top 25-or-so schools since 1995 is here.
