The University of Illinois College of Law--which had a busy year of lateral recruiting last year (hiring, among others, Ralph Brubaker [bankruptcy] from Emory, Lee Fennell [behavioral law & economics] from Texas, David Hyman [health law] from Maryland, and Richard Ross [legal history] from Wisconsin--continues to be a school "on the move," having now extended senior offers to Randy Barnett (contracts, constitutional law) at Boston University and Larry Solum (intellectual property, jurisprudence, civil procedure) at the University of San Diego. Barnett will be a visiting professor of law at Georgetown in fall 2005, and so won't be deciding about the Illinois offer before then.
This is plainly part of a plan by Illinois to corner the market on legal bloggers!
