Lawrence Sager named UT Law School Dean
Lawrence Sager, the holder of the Alice Jane Drysdale Sheffield Regents Chair at the University of Texas Law School and a noted scholar in the theory of Constitutional Law, has been named the new dean of the UT Law School.
Sager, who is 64, replaces William Powers Jr., who recruited Sager to UT four years ago and and is now president of the university. UT Law Professor Brian Leiter, who was a member of the search committee for the new dean, comments here and here.
Sager taught for more than 25 years at New York University's law school before coming to the UT Law School. He was selected from a field of finalists that included a federal judge from California and legal scholars at the University of Virginia, Boston University, Cornell University and Yale University.
