The search for a new Oxford Professor of Philosophy of Law

A couple of readers have been asking what the story is on the search (which I alluded to here), given the situation for jurisprudence at Oxford.  The bad news is that the best younger scholar working in general jurisprudence in the UK did not even make the short-list.  The good news is that at least one good philosopher, who genuinely works in philosophy of law (but not really general jurisprudence), did make the short-list.  When something is official, I'll post more about this.
