Good news from St. John's!

In 2005, St. John's University School of Law approved three new ranks for legal writing professors:  Assistant, Associate, and full Professor -- of Legal Writing.  Last week, the St. John 's faculty voted and promoted six former Assistant Legal Writing Professors to these newly created ranks. Their contracts now automatically renew annually on a rolling basis and are presumptively renewable.

The following people were promoted to the rank of Professor of Legal Writing, which entitles them to a seven-year contract:
Robin Boyle
Jay Facciolo

The following people were promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Legal Writing, which entitles them to a three-year contract:
Patricia Grande Montana
Akilah Folami
Elyse Pepper
Robert Ruescher

Congratulations!  (spl)
