Hiring Committees 2012-2013
Note: Bumped to the top, 8/25/12; we will continue to bump this post periodically.
Aaaand, we're off! Please share in the comments the following information related to the 2012-2013 law school faculty hiring season:
I will gather this information in a downloadable, sortable spreadsheet. (Click on that link to access the spreadsheet and download it; you can also scroll through the embedded version below.)
You can't make changes to the spreadsheet directly, so please post the information in the comments, or email me directly, slawsky *at* law *dot* uci *dot* edu.
Additionally, last year someone very kindly submitted a spreadsheet of addresses of a subset of law schools, if folks want to create their own mail-merge. You can download it here. (If anyone wants to update or expand it and send me a new version, that would be awesome.)
Update, 7/15/12: At the suggestion of a candidate, I will also collect the number of available faculty positions at each school, if people have this information and want to share it. I will add the information in the "Other" column for the time being, but if I get the information from enough schools I'll start a separate column.

Other possible areas of interest include administrative law, professional responsibility, and antitrust law. Entry level candidates should have outstanding academic credentials and show superb promise for top-notch scholarship. Lateral candidates should have a superb record of scholarship and teaching.

Unfortunately, I am not permitted to share or analyze any data from the FAR forms. This is from the AALS website: "FAR information or data may not be used for research, converted into any data base or shared with any person not directly involved in the school's faculty recruitment process."
Posted by: Sarah Lawsky | Aug 17, 2012 12:34:38 PM
Sarah,
Now that the first distribution is out, can you post some basic descriptive statistics about the distribution (assuming that AALS rules allow this)? I don't know if this can easily be done, but, it would be interesting to know e.g., number of candidates (perhaps by gender, as well; and, if you have them, the numbers for the last few years), number of candidates listing what teaching areas in their first line, and maybe the number of different combinations of subjects on the first line, and number of candidates from which schools. All of that could probably be done with some electronic searching & counting. It would, of course, also be interesting to know numbers of candidates by JD year, with VAPs, Fellowships, SCOTUS, Appellate, and District clerkships, and how many publications different candidates have -- but that would all require substantial coding efforts.
Of course, just knowing the number of folks in the pool would be swell!

@Curious | Aug 15, 2012 11:13:51 AM: Carolyn Jones, the head of the Iowa hiring committee, writes, "Because we were able to hire eight new colleagues in the last two years, we are not filling any permanent faculty positions this year."
Posted by: Sarah Lawsky | Aug 15, 2012 11:34:04 AM
I'm confused by the Iowa entry and the "0 slots for permanent hires." Does that mean that they're not hiring this year, or that they are hiring, but not for entry-level TT positions? And if the former, why have a hiring committee, and if the latter, what precisely are they hiring for?

A small request: Might a column for "date added" be useful? That way, one could sort to quickly id new additions. Just a thought and thank you for providing this information!

Our upper-level needs are health law, biotech, business and financial services. We have foreseeable interests in criminal law and international law as well. Those who have a geographic preference for Massachusetts specifically or New England more generally should make that known to the Co-Chairs on their application. Committee Co-Chairs are Jessica Silbey and Bob Smith. Here's to a successful hiring season for all.

Many hiring chairs, I suspect, will be reluctant to provide an "available faculty positions" number, in part because that number is sometimes fluid over the course of a hiring season. A law school may conclude later in the season that it can afford fewer people than it had hoped for earlier. If the hiring chair honestly tells a rejected candidate that the school thought he was great and would have hired him but for financial constraints, it would be embarrassing to have apparently-contradictory information on prawfsblawg.

FARout candidate, good suggestion, thanks. I will add this information in the "Other" column, and if enough schools submit this information, I will start a separate column for number of slots. I will also mention in the initial post that I will be collecting this information.

I see that Chapman indicated their anticipation of hiring three entry-level faculty this season. Thank you for this information, Professor Howe. Could you add a column to the spreadsheet that shows the number of available faculty positions at each school? From a candidate's perspective, this information would be quite useful. Many thanks.
