Here's some news from the hiring front:
Daniel Farbman has just joined the faculty at
Boston College as an Assistant Professor of Law. Cribbing from the BC
website:
[Farbman] teaches and writes in the areas of local government law, legal
history, constitutional law, the legal profession, civil rights, and
property. His work focuses on the legal history of radical reform
movements in public law both from an institutional perspective and from
the perspective of the practice of cause lawyering.
After he graduated from Amherst College in 2001, Dan spent a few
years in New York City trying (and failing) to make it as a professional
actor before he enrolled at Harvard Law School. After graduating in
2007, he was a clerk for Judge Margaret Morrow on the Central District
of California in Los Angeles before beginning a Skadden Fellowship at
Advancement Project in Washington, D.C. At Advancement Project he worked
with community organizers around the country on grassroots efforts to
fight racial injustice in public education with a particular focus on
the school to prison pipeline.
After leaving practice, Dan pursued a PhD in American Studies at
Harvard. For three years prior to joining Boston College, he was a
Climenko Fellow and Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School. While at
Harvard, Dan taught Legal Research and Writing and a seminar on Legal
Realism.
Congratulations to Daniel Farbman and to BC Law! Other hiring news? Please let us know!
