Congratulations to Larry Solum

On September 7, 2005, Professor Lawrence B. Solum will be invested as the John E. Cribbet Professor at the University of Illinois (Champaign) College of Law. Professor Solum was formerly at the University of San Diego law school and before that at Loyola Los Angeles Law School. He is a leading expert in jurisprudence, constitutional law, and intellectual property, and runs one of the most widely read blogs in legal academia, the Legal Theory Blog.

I am deeply proud of, and for, Larry, who is an old, dear friend dating back to our days in the philosophy department at UCLA and later at Harvard Law School. He is a wonderfully intelligent, deeply learned scholar. He was here in DC for a conference this weekend, and it was delightful, after many years, to have him over for dinner last night.

Larry, congratulations! And well-deserved!
