Moves & New Hires in the Legal Academy

I did not get many e-mails in response to my request for information about moves in the legal academy in the areas of bankruptcy law, commercial law, or consumer law. You will excuse me, therefore, if this list is woefully incomplete. Also, I've done my best to make sure the information is accurate, but it can be difficult to find all of the information. Please e-mail me (rlawless-at-law-dot-uiuc-dot-edu) with corrections or updates, and I'll add them to the list:
