One year later, still no arrests in Yale Law bombing Adam Henry Friday marks the one year anniversary of the explosion of a bomb in an empty classroom at Yale Law School. In advance of that milestone, 1010 WINS reports today that despite an investigation that is still "very active," no arrests or indictments have yet been made, and none appear imminent. In happier news from New Haven, Yale Law reports that Professor Oona Hathaway has been named one of fifteen Carnegie Scholars in the Class of 2004. The Carnegie Corporation will provide financial support for her research project, "Between Power and Principle: A Political Theory of International Law," wherein she "will examine why states commit to and comply with international law." Joining Hathaway in the Class of '04 and also representing the legal academy is Professor Richard Pildes of the New York University Law School. With the Corporation's support, he will "research and write a book-length study on the relationship between democratic politics and constitutional law in the design of democracy itself." Another NYU professor making law school news of late is leading constitutional law scholar Larry Kramer. Last Wednesday, Stanford Law School named Kramer as its new dean, effective September 1. According to the school's press release, Kramer will become the fourth consecutive con law scholar to hold the school's highest administrative post. He tells the San Francisco Chronicle that the "sky's the limit" at Stanford, and suggests that he is interested in increasing attention to international law and interdisciplinary ventures. Also last week, the Boston University School of Law named Professor Maureen O'Rourke as its interim dean, effective July 1. O'Rourke will succeed Dean Ronald Cass, who announced in April that he would step down following 14 years of service. See the online announcement to the BUSL community and a report in the B.U. Bridge for more. In other administrative comings and goings, Dean Michael Young of the George Washington University Law School recently accepted the position of President of the University of Utah.
