Congratulations to my colleague Martha Nussbaum...

...who is the only American legal academic to be elected a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy this year.  She joins three other Chicago Law faculty to share that honor:  Professor R.H. Helmholz and Senior Lecturer (and, of course, Judge) Richard Posner, as well as emeritus professor Ronald Coase.  Other American law faculty who are Corresponding Fellows of the British Academy are Judge Guido Calabresi (emeritus, Yale) and Sanford Kadish (emeritus, Berkeley).

Also elected as an "Ordinary Fellow" this year is Christopher McCrudden of Oxford University, who is a regular visiting professor of law at the University of Michigan.
