I'm on the run, but here, briefly, are the results:
Newly elected philosophers are Robert Fogelin (emeritus, Dartmouth), Gilbert Harman (Princeton), Charles Larmore (Chicago), Keith Lehrer (emeritus [though still teaching], Arizona), and Peter van Inwagen (Notre Dame). In addition, philosopher Rebecca Goldstein (Trinity College) was elected in recognition of her literary works.
Newly elected legal scholars are Jack Balkin (Yale), Elena Kagan (Dean of Harvard Law School), Duncan Kennedy (Harvard), Sylvia Law (NYU), and Catharine MacKinnon (Michigan). This was clearly the year for "the left" (in some suitably loose sense) at the American Academy! For good measure, among the practitioners elected was Chief Justice William Rehnquist.
More later...
UPDATE: Of local interest, Allan MacDonald (Physics) at UT Austin was elected, as was Eric Nestler from the UT Southwestern Medical School in Dallas (there is no medical school at the Austin campus).
