From the Leiter Law School Reports:
The following law professors have been elected as Fellows of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences: Ian Ayres (Yale), Richard Fallon (Harvard), Larry Kramer (Stanford), and Lawrence Lessig (Stanford). Several practitioners were also elected, including the new Chief Justice John Roberts, Jr., and Seth Waxman, now practicing with Wilmer, Cutler in Washington, D.C. In addition, Lee Epstein, who is moving [from Washington U] to the Law School at Northwestern University, was elected in the Political Science category.
Congratulations to all of the law profs listed are very deserved, because they have all done amazing work. As for Roberts and Waxman: I can’t bring myself to congratulate Roberts, though no one could deny he has been on a roll lately in terms of visibility and indicia of career success. I’m absolutely willing to acknowledge Waxman’s expertise, though; he’s a terrific lawyer.
Lee Epstein in the only woman on this list. Extra-special feminist law prof congrats to her, and best wishes for her new job at Northwestern.
