Alvarez from Columbia to NYU

Jose Alvarez (international law) at Columbia Law School has accepted a senior offer from New York University School of Law.  The NYU press release is here.  Alvarez is the fifth tenured member of the Columbia faculty to accept an offer at NYU in recent years; the others were Cynthia Estlund (labor law), Samuel Issacharoff (voting rights, civil procedure), Catherine Sharkey (torts), and Jeremy Waldron (political and legal philosophy).  (Waldron has been offered the Chicele Professorship in Social and Political Theory at Oxford, so whether he will remain at NYU, full-time or otherwise, remains to be seen.)
