Chris Edley stepping down: refuah shlemah!

Haven't heard much news about this, so thought I'd share it. My former ad law professor, Chris ("Hugs and Kisses, the Agency") Edley is stepping down from the deanship of Berkeley Law after 9 years. Chris has some medical issues related to cancer that I hope resolve themselves quickly and completely (he seems as cheerful and optimistic as ever from the press release here). Gillian Lester will be the interim dean and Berkeley will be added to the list of schools undergoing a dean search this year. If they're smart, they'll surely consider/hire the object of my abiding bromance :-)

In the meantime, join me in warm wishes for a speedy and complete recovery to Chris and his family.
