More on Chemerinsky

Although I blogged yesterday on Chemerinsky's L.A. Times op-ed, I passed over the really hot topic, viz., UCI's volte-face regarding their choice of Chemerinsky as dean of UCI's nascent law school. To make up for my omission, I'll direct you to Belle Lettre (via Legal Theory), who has a comprehensive run-down.

BTW, I've signed the petition* and urge others to do the same.

UPDATE: Chemerinsky reinstated. (Via Mark Kleiman.) I'm pretty sure my signature on the petition was the tipping point.
