Prof. Adam Chilton has been appointed dean of the University of Chicago Law School, effective July 1, President Paul Alivisatos and Provost Katherine Baicker announced.

Judge Rachel Bloomekatz has worn many hats throughout her career: Supreme Court law clerk (on both the state and federal levels), assistant attorney general, appellate lawyer at a large law firm, civil rights litigator at a boutique firm, and—perhaps less common among federal judges—solo practitioner.

Professor Alison LaCroix Explains Habeas Corpus on WGN Radio

Alison LaCroix, Robert Newton Reid Professor of Law and associate member of the Department of History at the University of Chicago Law School, joins Lisa Dent to discuss habeas corpus. LaCroix explains that as one of the foundational rights in the American Constitution, the suspension of habeas corpus would mean that due process is not required for anyone detained in the United States.

Academic freedom—classically defined as the freedom of research and teaching—is a complicated idea, and one that has come under severe attack in our era. One question that has not received much attention, is whether academic freedom applies to the student editors of law reviews. Last year, Aziz Z. Huq and I argued that it does. This is because the academic discipline of law has delegated to students its editorial judgement about what to publish.

Adam Davidson Writes About the Thirteenth Amendment’s “Except” Clause

Some people almost certainly think of that fateful day in 1954, when the U.S. Supreme Court handed down Brown v. Board of Education.

Others likely imagine the signing of the Declaration of Independence, or perhaps when we moved from the Articles of Confederation to the U.S. Constitution we know now.
