Et Tu Harris?

Leiter is reporting that Professor Harris has accepted an offer from UC Davis.  Not too long ago, Boalt was reviled in legal academia for poaching the finest talents from other schools at an aggressive rate.  The trend of late seems to be in the other direction though.  I suspect some of these names will show up in a DE PowerPoint presentation not too long in the future to justify greater donations / higher fees that would be needed to replace these talents.  Just off the top of my head:  Moran to UCLA as Dean, Bundy in private practice, Murphy to NYU, Shelanski to GULC / Feds, and now Harris.  

I never had the pleasure of taking Professor Harris's courses, but I know she was invaluable in working with Boalties who wanted academic positions, including running an email list for those interested.  So even from the non-classroom perspective, it's apparent that Boalt will miss her.  I hope others will join me in wishing her well as she makes the move across I-80.
