A String of Hires at USC Law

Although the ELS Blog typically refrains from noting individual personnel moves, a recent string of hires by Dean Bob Rasmussen at USC Law warrants note insofar as it involves leading ELS scholars. USC just announced hiring Lee Epstein and Nancy Staudt away from Northwestern (here and here, respectively). Epstein's hire is especially interesting as it complements USC Law's earlier hire of Mathew McCubbins, a leading positive political theorist. As Brian Leiter notes, these hires substantially bolster USC's presence in the law and politics field.
