Brian Leiter writes in his blog today that in his twenty years of legal education experience that he has never seen any law school treated as badly by its central university administration as has DePaul. Leiter advised Justice Wolfson to do a bit of housekeeping as Dean and then resign and encourage DePaul to reinstate Dean Weissenberger.  If he doesn't do that, Professor Leiter suspects he would spend most of next year bidding farewell to members of the DePaul faculty.  Click here to read more.
