Law School Hiring, 2011-2012, Thread Two
NB: Bounced to the front every ten days or so.
We invite those on the market to leave comments on this thread regarding whether they have received:
(a) a callback from a law school and/or accepted it; or
(b) an offer from a law school and/or accepted it; feel free to also leave details about the offer, including teaching load, research leave, etc. A school listed as "offer accepted" may have made more than one offer and may still have some slots open.
Law professors may also choose to provide information that is relevant to the entry-level or the lateral market.
Miscellaneous:
1. If you don't want your contact information displayed, enter anon@anon.edu or something like that as an email address.
2. Members of hiring committees, if you see something incorrect in the comments (e.g., someone says they have an offer at your school, but you haven't made any offers), please email me directly, slawsky *at* law *dot* uci *dot* edu, and I will delete or amend the comment and adjust the spreadsheet, and if the person at that IP address persists in posting incorrect information, I will block the IP address.
3. All information should come in through the comments. Our aggregator will use a spreadsheet to aggregate the information. Only the aggregator will be able to edit the spreadsheet, but when the aggregator edits the spreadsheet, those changes will be reflected in the embedded, downloadable version below.
Here is the spreadsheet, which is downloadable.
Please be patient with the aggregator, who will try to update this spreadsheet once a day, but may have a job, and perhaps may even be on the market.
Good luck!
Additional Links:
There is a separate thread, "A Clearinghouse for Questions," for general questions or comments about the teaching market. Please do not use the thread below for general questions or comments. (Such comments will be deleted, not out of hostility or in a judgy way, just to keep this thread focused.)
There's quite a cache of materials relevant to the law job market under the archive category Getting a Job on the Law Teaching Market. The clearinghouse for questions thread from 2010-2011 is here.
This year's first hiring thread is here. Comments on that thread are now closed.
Update: the last page of comments is here.

To all - please specify your area(s) when you post your callbacks.
Good luck everyone!

Keep this in mind, and I think this is true of many (perhaps most) schools: Some people will have call backs immediately, for the most part they will be the superstars who were so identified by nearly every school that interviewed them. They will not only receive multiple callbacks but also multiple offers. But for most of you, it will be a significant wait. Some of you will receive offers after the new year. I've know numerous people who accepted offers in late February and even early March. In the meantime, send any resume updates to hiring committee chairs, keep yourselves occupied, and be reassured that some of the most successful professors in legal academia found this process to be trying.

If you want to report off-site, please email me your callbacks at AALSaggregator [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks.
Posted by: the aggregator | Oct 19, 2011 3:55:14 PM
I don't think an email address, in and of itself, will encourage reporting, since people are concerned about a school's reaction to their reporting. However, what might help is the ability to say to the aggregator (via the email address), school X has called me and you can post it if you hear from at least one other person. This way, risk averse individuals can feel free to disclose to the aggregator knowing that the school won't know it was them. Thoughts?
Posted by: anon | Oct 19, 2011 4:15:03 PM
Disagree with anon at 415. Since reporting can come from either faculty or candidates, if it comes through the aggregator, it's not necessarily an identifier. While there may be only a few candidates who receive a callback at a specific school, there are a ton of faculty.
Report away!
Posted by: Anon | Oct 19, 2011 4:46:10 PM
Sorry, to clarify, I agree that people should report away, but I think that might be a way for the completely risk averse who would never, ever otherwise say anything to report.
Posted by: anon | Oct 19, 2011 4:48:47 PM
Given how skittish some people apparently are, why don't we (AALS and everyone) just keep secret the fact that any new professor has been hired? After all, if the new professor's hiring gets announced anywhere, that law school will probably punish him/her by denying tenure someday.
Posted by: Shadowlighter | Oct 19, 2011 4:52:15 PM
I'm not sure that I follow your 446 comment Anon. Postings on this blog can also come from both faculty or students, with no way to differentiate (ex. if the wording was "Yale is calling candidates"). If a student emailed "Yale called me" and then it appeared on the spreadsheet the school would know that it was the student who reported since they would know if they posted or not.
Posted by: i wish yale was calling me... | Oct 19, 2011 4:54:09 PM
Aggregator--
When callbacks are reported directly into the spreadsheet, are they entered next to the relevant area? I.e.,Miami callback is listed next to commercial, not health. Does that mean the callback is for the commercial slot?
Thanks!

anon @ 5:10 - To the best of my ability, yes, I align the callbacks with the appropriate substantive area. Of course, I can only do that if the substantive area is reported with the callback. If it's multiple schools at once, I can sometimes infer the substantive area. (For example, if someone reports multiple callbacks without the area and one of the schools on the list is only hiring in one area but other schools are hiring in multiple areas, including the one in which the first school is hiring, then I can usually figure it out.)

FWIW, Thomas Jefferson has sent "no thanks" e-mails to some people who interviewed with them at AALS, so if you interviewed with them and haven't gotten either a rejection or a callback, you're pretty likely on a B list.

Aggregator:
I know that U Arizona has made callbacks.
Thanks for taking on this task! IMHO, some information (albeit woefully incomplete) is better than no information.
Posted by: anon | Nov 1, 2011 3:50:14 PM
I heard that Stetson made a tax callback (not me)
Posted by: anon | Nov 1, 2011 3:55:36 PM
I know that Georgia state has issued callbacks for their health law position. Uc irvine has issued callbacks also.
Posted by: Anon | Nov 1, 2011 6:18:54 PM
U of Oregon has scheduled interviews. Prof Flunk Out: I've also received one 'thanks but no thanks' email, but I was glad to get it (better than wondering!).
Posted by: anonapalooza | Nov 2, 2011 10:05:14 AM
I have personal knowledge that the following schools have made callbacks: WVU, OU, Ark-L.R., DePaul, Elon, TN, Duquesne, and UND.

Re schools not yet reported, you can add callback offers for Loyola (LA) and UNC, both of which were extended within 5 days of the FRC.

I understand that CUNY, which didn't attend the meat market in DC, is currently conducting first-round interviews.
Posted by: anon | Nov 11, 2011 1:28:40 PM
I think it'll be helpful for those who are stressing about whether they're on b-lists or just rejected for those of us who have received explicit dings to post who they're from, on the logic that if you interviewed at one of these schools and haven't gotten a ding, there may be some hope that you're still under consideration. At least, it might be worth an inquiry. And all the privacy/angering people concerns about naming specific schools don't really apply to dings, since, hey, they've already rejected you.
SO, with no further ado. Here's my ding list, in the order in which they rejected me after AALS:
georgetown
fordham
tulane
colorado
louisville
indiana
northwestern
michigan
william&mary
Dear aggregator: any chance that we can get a spreadsheet field for dings?

Re: Northwestern and William & Mary dings, did these come by email or letter, and roughly how recently? Just wondering if I should brace myself for Monday morning's office snail mail.
And can anyone report whether Northwestern has scheduled any callbacks, whether b/c you have one or b/c your ding letter included the status of their process?
Posted by: anon | Nov 13, 2011 2:34:13 PM
Ding: Hamline. Very nicely worded ding.
Posted by: anon | Nov 13, 2011 2:58:10 PM
Anon 2:22: Bloomington. & Anon 2:34, my Northwestern ding (which came by e-mail a couple weeks ago) didn't say anything about actually scheduling callbacks, it just said they "don't anticipate" giving me one. William & Mary ding came by snail mail a few days ago, and is the only snail mail one I've received.

Let's please play nice, folks. Keep the dings info coming... it seems to be useful, and it helps set up next year's data aggregation. Maybe they'll start tracking dings earlier in the season, and perhaps segregate out the dings from direct applications.
That having been said, it seems rather obvious that if you haven't heard from a school to which you applied directly, they are not pursuing your candidacy. So, I personally agree with the notion that post-AALS dings are more indicative at this stage of the game, but who knows the specifics of each situation... keep the info flowing in.
Thanks, all.
